Default New from WI future cherokee mudder and got some ?'s

Hey im jared, i like to think i know wat im doin offroad and with 4x4's but ill always take pointers. So when I have the money i want a cherokee 4dr(i think) its gonna be a base model so not much gets ruined, manual windows seats mirrors. It will mainly be used for mudding, trail riding, and road driving. A '91 to '96 4.0HO auto tranny. Mods will be custom front/rear bumpers roof rack, many offroad lights, eventually a winch, high lift points spare tire rack/gas can. Lockers front/rear(maby d44's in the future). Now my ?'s, I found 8in coils and leafs on ebay for cheap running 35's on 15x10's. Wat mods are gonna have to be made for this lift to work? mainly concerned about steering or drivetrain problems...

any help is appreciated

Welcome to CF.
You'll probably need/want to run long arms, and get an SYE, a new trac-bar and dropped bracket, new dropped pitman arm or an over the knuckle set-up, new shocks, plus more stuff that others will tell you about.

First off, welcome! We're really close, I'm in Milwaukee. If you ever wanna get together and go wheeling or hang out, hit me up!

Second, before the long arms, SYE, trac bar, dropped pitman arms, shocks, and whatever anyone else can suggest, I'd recommend buying the Jeep first.

Hell yeah I'll be there! That'd be the 16th, yeah? I don't think my fiance works, so I'll probably be there with my XJ and her TJ.

As soon as I'm done with paint, hopefully by this weekend, I'm probably going to my spot just north of Milwaukee for after-paint shots. You are more than welcome to tag along! I PM'd you my cell, txt me or something.
