Default 2017 KL suspension question

could a 2020 wrangler/ gladiator suspension work for a 2017 cherokee trailhawk.

the only reason i ask is bc Ive seen on FB marketplace that tons of people are selling their 2020 wrangler or gladiator suspension kits w everything included for way cheaper than buying a new set of everything. like selling it all for $300-400 compared to dropping over $1000 otherwise.

You're talking about a lift kit? I seriously doubt it would be a straight swap.

It definitely WON'T work with the Cherokee, as they're completely different vehicles, and the Gladiator and Wrangler are RWD-based, while the Cherokee is FWD-based. There are plenty of aftermarket "Bolt-On" lift kits for the Cherokee KL, though, which would give you enough clearance to install 31" tall tires.
