So i just picked up a 1990 cherokee and i am getting back into the jeep club....I want to go with a 4.5" lift this time and 33s.


So what i am needing to know what all should i buy to build this lift dont want to spend alot of money.
SO FAR THIS IS WHERE I AM AT:

front i am going to 4.5" coils from rubicon exspress, adjustable trac bar, hd tie rod, and quick disconects.

Rear 3.5" leaf springs, shackle relocation brackets.

I will probably go with either bilstein shocks or rubicon exspress.

 

Sounds like a good list so far.

Need to add control arms (LCA's at the least), Brake lines, and possibly a SYE and CV driveshaft.

 

Or get serious long arms from serious off road...

 

OK, this is random and I apologize up front. I love this site, and have found tons of useful info over the years. But now I finally want to post a forum question and can't find anywhere on the site that tells me how to do that! Can somebody point me to the 'new post' button!!

 

Only cause I can't PM you the pic...




Click the new thread button and you're off

 

Wow, I don't have that button. Do I need to be a paying member to get that button?

 

No... Go to whichever section you want to post in, OEM, modified, chat whatever and you'll see it. In the picture you can see where i was in modified

 

Yea. Definitely need at least longer or adjustable lower control arms. When you get to 4.5" you are about at the point of a long arm set up being ideal. We also sell OTK steering, OTA track bars, and Shackle Relocation Kits. Depending on what you wanted to order we might even be able to give you discounted prices for a bundled order. Let me know if there is anything we can do to help you out.

Do you need to use a sye if you have a 5 speed?

 

Having a 5 speed doesnt matter (even though they are less prone to vibes..) but at 4.5 you will probably need one

 

ok so i guess i got a np231 in this jeep

 

Post a pic of the shifter bezel, more than likely you do

 

Ok so this is how I am going to build up the jeep.

rubicon exspress 5.5" coils from seriouse
3.5" rear leaf springs from seriouse
bilstien shocks from seriouse
HD tie rod from roughcountry
HD track bar from roughcountry
Quick disconnects from rouchcountry
Brake lines from some where
rubicon exspress lca from seriouse
Shackle relocation brackets from any company all around same prices.


Now I will also be adding a t case drop for now until I build up my funds to afford the sye and drive shaft.

I will also upgrade to long arms in the future.

 

How are you getting the extra 2 inches in the back? Extended shackles and Shackle Relocation Kit?

 

Plus those 5.5 coils might settle at 6 or even 6.5 if they are Rubicon express.
