I was looking to put a lift kit on my 99 cherokee. I want to put 3in or less on. Im thinking about doing a block lift.I dont know if thats a good way to go or not...If anyone knows of a good lift kit please let me know.

here ya go, read this is should help you. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f67/xj...mpanies-76868/ ppl say stay away from blocks but its all up to you, if your looking for a cheap easy lift, shackles and spacers will be ur best bet

blocks are no good. easily cause axle wrap. I have a 99 and put a rough country 3" series II kit on it. I also went with the full leafs in the back because the stock leaf springs in the back were sagging bad! I also added an adjustable track bar. I got drive line vibrations and you probably will too. So you can do a transfer case drop for $30 or a Slip Yolk Eliminator for $300 if you plan to go higher in the future.

Gee oh Dee

Blocks are bad. Search for ''bastard pack" or AAL, add a leaf. Then consider full leafs, or shakles. Research will be your best bet on this. See what others run.

I've got a few questions, though. What do your leafs look like? A nice 'U' shape, or a 'W' with the axle sinking toward the body?

Have you looked at any kits to see what they include? I run BDS, and its pretty solid. Others have luck with other kits. Again, just a bit of research will take you a long way.

Sorry to hijack but how do you like the RC 3" I'm about to order one in A couple days.

Shackles and spacers are your best bet, cheap and pretty easy

How much did that cost you?

I have a RC 3" lift and love it, only complaint is the shocks aren't that great so i would recommend upgradeing to better shocks

I did the aal 3" kit from then since my rear springs are in pretty good shape. I've had this kit for a year coming up and no sagging at all like what happen with a lot of people. The aal is a good kit just make sure the springs are a really good shape. I also did the upgraded shocks when I got the kit too

BigC9164

Yeah i like it! but i would defiantly consider getting nicer shocks than the rough country ones!

Just say no No NO!!! to blocks!

either do shackles or bastard back if you are broke

retread

how hard do you wheel? full pack&coil spacer would be best, aal's tend to ride hard/ shackles can flip but are better than blocks

ericfx1984

my AAL rides great... it's not the AAL that is the problem, it is when people use worn out stock springs, or cheap shocks with an AAL

what do you mean shackles can 'flip' ?

I have RC's 2" AAL/spacer lift and love it. everyone complains that aal doesn't last long but for me thats fine. I plan on using aal as a temporary lift until I have the money for a full leaf pack. If $ is your problem then I would suggest that. but if you can go straight for the full leaf then do that and go 3"
