Default Questions dealing with my 6 in lift

Hey y'all so I'm going to be starting to work on my 1992 Jeep Cherokee Laredo in a couple weeks. So it has a 6 in lift and 33 12.5 15 tires from PO and he didn't really take great care of the jeep. So got a couple issues that I want to address. So the main concern is the death wobble. Now I haven't been able to look at it right now since its 3 hours away until I go home in a couple weeks but I'm assuming the PO didn't replace anything after the lift. So with that being said I'm going to invest in a IRO double shear track bar with mount to drop it down since it is lifted so high. My question is what else do i need to look to replace/add with this high lift? I am looking to run serious off-road 1 ton steering in awhile especially when I want to go to 35s which would be after I replace the axles. Any help would be appreciated!

I would hope he had installed an SYE/driveshaft's for sure, and is it a long arm lift or a short arm, drop kit?


Really need a lot more information to help you as to what your needs may be.

my apologies for that. Sadly don't have a good picture of the lift just side views which wouldn't help and I didn't check what kind of lift it is so that will be something to check in a couple weeks for sure

also in the end this will be road worthy since we are going to register it, but it will mainly be for off road purposes.

My question is about the "play" like what exactly I am looking for when that is said like movement in certain areas that shouldn't be moving?
Thanks for the responses everyone I just starting getting more into cars this past year so suspension and steering is new to me.

All of us can help more when we see photos when you get it and see exactly what you have now. Just wait for a bit until you get it home and go over it.


Don't look at it like an all or nothing deal it takes a while to build one of these properly and oh yes....Money is required! Just do what has to be done first and work your way through it as time and money allow. Do your research and ask advice from a lot of different people before you buy parts, its cheaper that way.

Thanks everyone I will be seeing it this next week and will take plenty of pictures. I have a lot of money saved up specifically in a jeep fund so hopefully can get a good amount done and fixed from PO
