anybody have pics of a cherokee lifted more in the front than in the back. im really considering doing this and id love to see some pics of it.

 

Why?

 

yeah, really. why? it's gonna look like it's loaded down.

 

Its your xj man do it,it will look nice but you will have some trouble off road,it will look like a baja trophy truck,but reemember its an xj,and you need clearence in all 4 corners,also it will handle different.

 

that wouldnt look to good

 

it looks like crap and you'll end up with a huge dent in your gas tank, aske me how i know

but since you asked

 

theres loads of pics of jeeps like that, just search the forum for pics of ppl with AAL

 

well im highly considering giving my cherokee a little prerunner look(front lift, big fender flares, etc.) while keepin the classic cherokee swag. but if you all think it'll be bad i might have to reconsider.

 

well if your going for look over performance then go for it. either way its your rig man, if you want to do something then do it. but lifting the front higher in my opinion wouldnt look good, would make it just look like the springs are sagging or your always carrying a full load. plus your departure angle wouldn't be as good and would be more likely to hurt your gas tank or tear off your rear bumper (if its still stock)

 

ya i completely understand. i never thought of those details before. THANK GOD FOR CF haha

 

my buddy's cherokee sits like that, its 6.5 in the front and 4.5 in the back, the po broke one of the lift shackles so he put the stock ones in it, he hates it though cause of what irongrave said, the back end takes all the hits now, and thats the gas tank, and he just hates the way it looks, but hey who am i to tell you what to do to your jeep, i know i dont listen to anyone when i do anything to mine, so why should you

 

agree'd as far as looks go if you like something then do it. but when it comes to performance and engine tech, its best to listen to the ppl on here they kno what they are talking about

 

Here you go. 4" lift in front....rear wasn't done yet. I didn't drive it anywhere like this, just took it before I tore the rear down..

 

na its cool im a total newb and thought it would look kind of cool. but if it comes down to damaging my cherokee and not even ending up looking good at all, then i think ill be taking your guys' advice.

 

Id rather my 4wheel drive sit level or down a hair in the back. I cant stand how it looks for something to sit higher in the back, like you got the 70's style arched springs in the back i call that "soddy slant"... Anyone from around my area knows what i mean.
