Ok i just bought an 89 jeep cherokee for $250 that was in a fire sat night from the tranny fluid dripping on the exhaust... Its pretty torched... Buttttttttttt from what i was told had a rubicon 8" long arm lift kit on it.. The 8'' coil springs are done but i was wondering if the long arm kit would work with my 4'5 inch lift.... It has a hole transfer case skid plate / crossmember that didnt have much heat to it... The long arms connect to it... Just wondering if the long arms would work thankssss for any ones advice

 

It also came with a ford 8.8 with detroit lockers... Not to sure on the gears of the axles yet... The transfer case has a sye a nice one too the internal one.... Came with a full reese hitch....

 

bump anyone???

 

i dont see why not. Even if the long arms are a set length for 8 inches, the radius of the arm is so large that the tire will still appear to sit center in the wheel well with 4.5 inches. possibly forward a little, but that can only help your approach angle

 

lol lets see the pics of it

 

Damn u got a deal... axles should be fine... transfercase is fine... lift should be fine... I think the coils should even be fine man... just cause they are a little black doesn't mean there bad... the lift is high bucks...

 

I think it will depend on how hot it got and how long it was hot. If the heat was real intense for any length of time, the strength of the metal could be compromised. The springs will probably be the first indicator. If they start to sag, heat might have been too much. Good luck...hope it works out for you.

 

i just cut everything out today.... the coils are done.... all the bushings in the long arm kit are melted but are still good..... ford 8.8 with the leafs and 373 gears with a locjer is good wasnt flammed ... rear qaurter panal skid plats are nice.... heavy heavy duty transfer case brace/ skid plateee. i got the adjustable track bar with the extended bracket.... power steering brace..

 

Wow. That skid plate cost as much as ya got it for.... for that price, how could you go wrong? Hope it works out fine for ya
