First jeep (99 Cherokee classic 4.0) trying to figure out what kind brand lift kit I should buy??? It's my everyday driver, I like riding trails and messing around on some hills but don't want to go over a 3" lift. I want something that's gonna ride good on and off road....any suggestions?.....

now #1.. find a lift you like and simply put it in google shopping search.. set to price lowest and there you go
#2 theres a few more out there i just got tired of looking for em
#3 I would get a kit with new rear leafs, but many people like add a leafs just fine
#4 I love ironrockoffroad.. i have their 6.5 LA kit and its the best kit ive ever had.. the customer service is great too! (why its first on my list)

- Mods, can we please sticky this. It would save an unbelievable amount of useless threads started by newbs.
- P.S. Ianf406, you are a good guy for taking the time to do this!

bbojarzin

sorry that i'm new to this and have no clue what i am doing, just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a cheap lift that was around 6.5in, if someone would be nice enough to throw a few ideas my way it would help alot

Ianf406

im working on making a full version.. like 2" first.. then 3" then 4"s and on up.. saving it to my computer so when anyone asks, i can coppy paste it saves me time.. lol i know im missing some.. but thats like 90% of them..

The91XJ

Sorry bud, just giving you crap. We were all there at one point!

The91XJ

Haha that's awesome man, I'm sure once your finished with the full version mods will sticky the thread and lock it. That way it's always at the top of the page, and won't be cluttered up. Like you said earlier, everybody has there opinion on what is better so might as well just list them all! lol

Rubicon Express with EMU shocks, I been running that set up for 3 years. The EMU lift is good too but I think its only 2" of lift and comes with no lower control arms or adjustable track bar. I read a million reviews before I went with Rubicon. U used to be able to get EMU shock from Rubicon but I dont know any more. I will say this every person I know that has purchased other brand shocks for a little cheaper hates them and every one with EMUs cant say enough about them. The only problem with the Ruicon lift is that it is a bit stiff in the beginning especially with the sway bar attached. I just took out a leaf from the rear spring even though Rubicon told me for some reason that it was impossible? I have also heard good things about Tomken Lifts and Rusty's Offroad. Rough Country Sucks yes its cheap because its made cheaply. One important thing to look for is RUBBER bushings in all the joints not polyurathane like Rough Country or most of the others. Every one I've talked to that has other lift kits than the ones I've mentioned say the 4 wheel good but make a serious racket on the road. If you have any other questions feel free to message me.
