so i traded my 86 suzuki intruder for a 95 cherokee 2 door...its automatic and i havent put up any pictures of it yet but i will soon be...its stock right now so hopefully getting this thing off road ready wont be too expensive....any tips, links, etc. are welcome

 

Welcome to the forum and anything you need dont be shy to use the search button

 

oh and im not 100% sure its an xj lol ...how does one find that out??

 

If its a 2need door Cherokee its an XJ. Should look like a refrigerator box on wheels.

Moving to introductions...

 

If it runs has tires and is a JEEP. It IS offroad ready....
Only thing you can do do it is make it MORE capable or un-driveable. One Tip, FIX IT and learn to wheel it, before you modify it. You skip the fix-it part, even a little, it will get very expensive to wheel it.

 

The compass is off road ready?

 

lol i know jeep is off road ready but what i meant was get it so i wont bottom out easily...looking to maybe do a 3 to 5 inch lift, tires, etc... i heard 3 inches will allow me to keep the brake lines as are and that other make coils and leafs will fit

 

3" you have to relocate lines, but anything over 3"you requires several other parts.

 

so ive heard...and by relocate its just moving them so they make the 3 inch cut right?

 

You drill a new hole for the front line bracket and move it a bit lower on the frame rail.

 

sweet...so any info for me regarding the lift?? by that i mean which coils and springs to use? i have been told s-10 leafs are good, bronco coils are too stiff...i think i would want the flexibility more so any advice towards what make and models to grab things off of would be greatly appreciated

 

Bronco coils suck.

A bastard pack or AAL (add a leaf) will work, but only if your leafs aren't sagging.

Search for 3" lift, lots of folks ask what's the best out there.

I have a BDS lift, beat it to hell, and its going strong. Others say its too expensive.
