Lurker, First Intro :) 01 Cherokee Sport, 3" Lift, 30" Tires, HID
I have watched the site for a while but really never posted. I have a 2001 Cherokee Sport.
I recently installed the following:
* 3" RC Lift kit with new rear springs
* Iron Rock Offroad adjustable trackbar and bracket
* New swaybar links
* Bunch of other regular maintenance crap (Ujoints, wheel bearings, oil / tranny fluid etc).
* HID 6000K Kit with IPS Headlight Capsules
* 2 KC Slimlites with 6000K HID Conversion (completed that myself!)
* BF Goodrich All Terrain K/O Tires, 30" x 9.5"
All pics are with the new lift kit. I bedliner'd everything and painted the axles and suspension while I was at it, and I think it turned out pretty nice. I worked on it every night for about 2 hours for like a month! HAHA. Every bolt was rusty, every bolt had to be cut or torched and replaced.
Rough Country lift is pretty nice, install was alright but I had an issue with the spring posts hitting the springs under heavy axle drop which is not their fault...
All in all, pretty reliable so far, allbeit an issue with the CPS, CPH, Coil Pack etc... all electrical gremlins. I also keep burning out for light bulbs.

The two bottom pictures are actually with the lift. It was a very small amount that it was lifted, however, the rear springs were sagging very badly and overall it does sit much higher now. The only thing regarding the lift that I am NOT a fan of is for some reason the rear sits at least an inch higher or more than the front... its raked forward. I don't know if this is because the rear spring packs (new rear springs) actually lift MORE than 3" or what, but I will be getting some 1" spacers I think and installing them up front to level it out.
