Hey guys, I am new here. Tomorrow I am going to look at a 1989 Jeep cherokee 2-door. It's all in good shape and 175,000 miles for $1200. I'm only 15 but I do turn 16 soon and get my license so im going to make this a project. I'll post some pics. I'm looking into either a 3 or 4 inch lift, and either 31's or 32's. I know this is probably a noob question but what is the cheapest lift? and will a 3 or 4 inch lift fit 32's with no cutting? Sorry if these are dumb questions but im a complete noob.. first car. these are the craigslist pics but going to hopefully get it tomorrow.

Welcome aboard and good luck. Don't get one that has issues, there are a lot of XJs out there and eventually one will pop up.
