hey guys this is my 1st jeep its a 96 Cherokee 6 inch lift on 37 tsl's

it drives like crap and has some major slop and banging under the floor boards every time i run over the slightest crack in the road

is there a full front to back kit i can buy to replace bushings and what not or does it need a new lift

im not in it for much and don't care to throw 1/2 a payday in it since it will be mostly my daily driver

also how do i identify what brand lift i have?

any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated

thanks
matt

How are the driveline angles? Beadlocks on the wheels? Even wear on tires? 37s are always gonna ride like crap on the road lol

Long arm... I drove it 175miles last night and it threw the back u joint

I jacked the front up and you can sway the whole front end left to right the long arms are home joints

I can't get my pics to load

Here's an almost full kit for bushings on Amazon. Read the one review for it because it tells what bushings it doesn't contain. Not sure about the cause of your problem though, thats why I don't get paid the big bucks.

It needs new shocks because it's bouncy but when hitting a pot hole it feels like a tank

Where can I buy a new track bar heavy duty

Are the TSLs radials or bias. Bias get flat spots and ride a bit rough till they warm up. I'm hoping it's not on stock axles with 37s and without seeing the suspension set up it's hard to say what parts you'll need. Doubt any stock out of the box parts will do you any good.

Also is there a measurement I can get to tell how big the lift is exactly?

I imagine to fit those tires it has to be 6 inch..

Depends on how much cutting has been done. I'm sitting on 6" with 38s and have a good bit of clearance and it's getting dropped to around 4.5" soon. I've cut a good 5-6" out of the front fenders.

Ironman4x4.com has a really awesome track bar. It's a little pricey but you get what you pay for with him.

Anyone recognize the lift at all

I'm thinking now about just buying a new lift and tires smaller of course

Also what can I buy to get my speedo accurate agin?
