What brand lift kit?
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?.....

Old Man Emu... every reveiw I find is nothing but good.
They are pricey..
Here is something I found with reviews of a bunch of kits.

Also this sort of goes in the stickied "All lift and tire questions?"

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.
