Default What the biggest lift?

Ok I have finally got my 01 cherokee up and running. My next step is to put a lift on it. I would like to run 31s or 33s preferably 33s. So whats the biggest lift I can put on the jeep without having to change brake lines and etc?

If you don't mind trimming you can easily run 33s on 3"s lift and use the stock brake lines, just have to straighten out the hardlines and you can relocate the stock track bar bolt.

3.5" and you can straighten out your hardlines up front, but you'll need a longer brakeline out back

You can buy an extension mount. Or do what I did over 2 years ago, unbolt the brake mount off the axle tube and reinstall the bolt to stop any water getting in, gave me the extra slack I needed and haven't had any issues.

So it looks like a 3" lift for me. I'm not sure about the trimming thing so I guess I'm going to go with 31's most likely. Thanks for the info
