Ok how to gain 1.5 more inches???
OK now i went out the other day and tested out the jeep on the new km2s....I came across some problems.
when flexing the back tire would get caught up in the rear fender.
so what i am trying to do is gain 1.5" of lift on the cherokee My thought was to get the rc shackle relocation kit and a spacer with a t case drop.
Cheap and simple.
What all else would i need to get? such as shocks? and stuff like that
Right now my jeep is sitting on a rc 3 inch lift, and 31/10.50/R15 bfg km2s on 8 inch wide rims.

u could get a 2" BB lift for cheap with coil spacers and shackles, or shackle relocation brackets. you dont need a t case drop or new shocks. very simple installation. with 2" or less every thing can stay stock. once u hit 3" is when u need to worry bout replacing a few things

I am trying to just gain another 1.5" so that i can be sitting at 4.5" lift. I want to use the shackle relocation kit for better flex/ride. And coil spacers because they are cheap.

yeah you could shim thats the right way that and a pinion angle gauge (to set both angles) but if u put blocks it puts the drive shaft in a terrible angle the tc drop will help plus hes got a 3inch all ready so you kinda almost need it and 4.5 inches
