Hi so I was wonderin. If I put in a 8 inch lift (long arm) in my cherokee u think it would be way too stiff???

 

What does height have to do with stiffness?
Done properly with the right shocks it will ride good.
But with any lift it will be stiffer than stock, that's normal and something you'll have to deal with.

 

Severe arm angle, ride the same as 4.5 on short arms?

 

I'm at 7" on short arms, provided the right shocks it doesn't ride bad at all.

 

I have 8.5 longarm kit w skyjacker shocks and it rides like a Cadillac

 

Generally the taller you go, the stiffer you want it to be to help with stability, weight transfer, drake dive, and the like, but there are lots of ways to build it and height doesn't directly mean its going to be stiff.

Well I suppose cadillacs have been around for over 100 years with the 100 year old suspension technology to match, so you might not be wrong there.

Modern caddy? I guess you havent been in one lately, or you are hiding some kind of special suspension secret behind that longarm kit and generic shocks.

 

compared to what? a dump truck?

 

Mine's 6.5 inches and it rides great.

8 inches isn't too high. Do what makes you happy.

I was considering the boost to 8 inches myself.

 

You can never be too high

 

^yes you can. Appearance wise and capability wise.

 

Naaa

 

You can only be too high if your tires are too small.

 

Ok so maybe not exactly like a caddy but its pretty dam smooth at normal driving speeds

 

It probably wont be the cumfiest ride but who cares? Jeeps arent meant for comfy rides. You wanna feel real stiff go trailing on a ******.

 

this is probably the worst case of not knowing how to spell on the entire internet.
