Do you want to do it cheap, do it right, or do it great?
Do you know what tire size you want to run, or how high you want it to be?

When i do mods, I learned when i was 16 to just do it right the first time. I also learned that at least with going fast you cant go fast, cheap , and reliable. only two of the three are possible. I have been tossing around 6.5" or 8", but think I am leaning towards 6.5". From what I have read I am looking at 33s with minor trimming or 35's with major trimming. Open to advice. It will mostly be a mall crawler but would like to keep up with my buddy in his bronco.

It's a hard lesson most of us learn. When you say 'keep up' with the Bronco, what sort of terrain are you talking? Most people on this site will tell you 6.5" of lift is never necessary on a Cherokee (and I'm inclined to agree), but there's nothing wrong with it if you simply want to do it. Be aware, though, that anything above 4.5" will start to get expensive quickly.


I ran 33s under a 3.5" lift with minimal trimming, and I've seen 37s run on stock springs with more serious cutting involved. Here's my old XJ:
