I have a 3in lift and was wondering if i could also put spring spacers and longer shackles in.

Cool man, I put 1.5" spacers on top of my 3.5in lift springs and it worked out good.

assuming that you lifted the Jeep with springs the first time... yes

you will also need the following

-longer front and rear brake lines

-longer control arms (adjustable would be nice)

-transfer case drop (tcase drop) or Slip Yoke Eliminator (SYE)

-longer shocks or shock extensions

-new bump stops

-trackbar (adjustable) you might be able to just move it over

-if you go too high you might have to address steering issues as well

Question: so why do you need more than 3"?

kenjen11

How much lift do you want? You will need a lot of stuff if you want like 6" of lift. I hear 4.5" of lift is pretty decent for offroading because you center of gravity is still pretty low.

i would like to have a 4.5" lift to fit larger tires, and thank you for the response

mike albo

with a 3" you can run 31s without any mods,32s or 33s you'll need to remove your stock flares and or do a little fender trimming

ericfx1984

honestly I don't care how much lift you get... XJs just have too small of a fender well... you have to cut

jgc019

so i would be better off trimming the fenders to fit 33s than using spacers?

Look in my photo album I have a picture of the spacers I used with my 3.5" springs. I did have to adjust the track bar to center things out. I added about just over 1" of spacers to end up with about 4.75 in of lift. The jeep rides rough on wash board roads due to the angle of the lower control arms but it is not too bad. I didn't need longer brake lines or bump stops in the front for how I drive it. I did have to spend some money on my custom driveshaft to fix vibe problems. I am sure I can fit 32" tires without cutting my fenders, just need some money for them.

I'm running 31s on stocks suspension with no triming and no rubbing

Ladies

I have a hard time believing this if you own a cherokee..

ericfx1984

lots of bump stop?

might be an upcountry package?

you might just run it on the road only... cause there is NO WAY you off road it

either way I kinda doubt it considering some people can not clear 235/75/15 on stock suspension

Guys look at my picture and I do offroad it a good amount and no lie I pm serious runing 31s on stock suspension

98cherokeeguy

I do own a Cherokee a 98 at that and yes I am running 31s with no trimming or rubbing and on stocks suspension take a look at my photos
