For the record, you can lift a rig and have a comfy ride.
Not sure who decided to compare it to a Cadillac, but that is obviously a ridiculous notion.

Mike H.

What are you comparing these vehicles to?

I am keen to do a similar lift to my cherokee, but not so many options here in the uk.

If you can only afford to buy a pos lift then it will ride like a pos, He is going to make a good riding dd with mild off road capabilitys, so must be he is going to invest a bit of money in too the suspention. So just because you shop at WALL MART doesnt mean the rest of us have too.(cyber bully he must still be in school)lol ////yup sry spelling

you can fit 31" tires under a stock xj if you trim fenders so with a 2" lift you will have no problem with getting 31s and id go with oem

Double post.

Sorry bro, I wasn't trying to cyber bully. It's a thread about beefing up suspension, yet keeping a nice ride on the road. If I want to cyber bully, I'll go elsewhere where I've been posting since 2000, and I'm a mod with 40+ thousand posts, moderating 80,000 users. It's nothing to be proud of... I mean, if I really wanted to cyber bully, I would tear apart both his and your reading comprehension, and or poor use of grammar. That's not my interest here. He insinuated that I wasn't aware of the vehicle that I had purchased, four times over. I'm aware that I bought a Jeep Cherokee. I'm also aware that it does not handle like a BMW. I've had four of them, one lifted once, one lifted twice with two different kits. I've had over 30 vehicles in the 20+ years I've been driving. Some were 'winter cars' bought simply to abuse, but most were nice cars and or trucks.

Can we get back on topic now?

Rich and mike get it. I got super lucky when I found this rig. I plan on keeping it for twenty+ years; I'm sparing no expense to keep it flawless.

It seems the OME 2" and BFG all terrain is the favorite here. I've always loved the BFG AT's... I think I'm mostly sold on them.

What about this BDS lift? I've not heard of them.

All I have handy is a crappy camera that does not do justice to my girl. She's much more pretty in person, but how could I stick this truck in mud or tip it on it's side (which I've done more than once with the blue one on page one)?








I'll buy a beater for that....

is that a flip out screen head unit? i would love to see a pic of it out if it is one. and yeah that things looks super clean! nice find man!

jigly

Yes it is. A short review: For an inexpensive head unit, it's quite impressive. The store I was in wanted $310. I pulled out the droid and scanned the barcode... $239 on amazon.com. They matched the price.

Keeping in mind that I got single DIN (flip out) 7" DVD player for 230 bucks, it's quite equipped. It has both AV (4 pole 3.5mm) and the standard ipod inputs, A/V and USB in the front (which I use mostly for flash drives and my cell phone), video out, 4 pre amp audio outs and sub out. It's navigation ready, and bluetooth ready (both require additional hardware, if you will). I'll be purchasing the nav unit shortly... I'll tell you how it works. I plug in the droid and listen to commercial free internet radio, watch movies at lunch, etc. There's a neat tilt feature for the screen, and brightness and contrast are easily accessible. Overall it's a real good bang for your buck.

Cons: It can be slow when switching sources, and the balance and fade are very limited as is the EQ (However I have a sub and aftermarket speakers and the balance is perfect in the jeep).

I do NOT regret buying it, but after owning my first media player/navigation unit, I would probably spend a few more dollars.







I stuck my amp and video output for the rear under the seat. Hope I don't sink this one

Sorry, forgot a link...



Although the screen blocks your AC vents, you don't need it open on a regular basis. There are simple controls on the front, or just use the remote.

I have a BDS lift on my 2000 it is a bit stiff compared to a OME lift but its still new, the lift on the wife s xj is ome and I think you would be happier with that one as far as comfort.

BDS is Good Stuff, lifetime warranty.

Zone Offroad is THE SAME stuff...no lifetime warranty, less than half the cost.

Go on.
