when i bought my 98 cherokee the seller told me the lift is a 6" but it barely clears 33/12.50s and all the front bushings are shoot out. it has full lenth chevy leafs in the rear so my question is should i try to repair the old man emu lift or buy another lift.....money is tight

 

What's the condition of everything else?

 

Does it still have OEM flares?

Replace the busings...and figure out what you really have.

 

Is it an OME lift or a junkyard lift? Since you have chevy leafs out back the rest of it might be the same "quality" of a setup. So first figure out if you have OME anything or maybe you are just going by the sticker on your shocks or something.

 

its a full long arm OME lift i just need to replace all the bushings and get another 2" added to the front. i was thinking of adding blocks to the rear to level it out after adding the extra 2" in the front. im told the blocks will have to much axle wrap what do u guys think?

 

Well , what we think is that it cannot be a full OME kit if you have Chevy leafs out back. And OME as far as I know makes no longarms.

 

I don't think ome makes long arms...and if you have chevy leafs then having any ome stuff is questionable

 

Well, that too, but even if his front is indeed lifted with shortarm OME its still not a full kit as he claims because he has a bastard pack .

 

Yup. I don't see a point in ome stuff with a bastard pack.

 

I am picturing bastard in rear

t-bird coils up front with hockey pucks in front

backyard baby!

 

Seriously tough. Upload some pics so we could help you figure out what you have .

 

Take some pics and post em up. Till then no one will be able to help you and will prob just rag on the mixed mash unknown lift.

 

Talk to djlaroc in the 4corners then to Denver bs. We installed the old emu leafs on his xj a few weeks ago with a longer shackle and box. He clears his tires (about 31x10.50) with stock flares no rub. Here is a pic of his jeep after lift install.
