Default My cherokee lifted.

Finally lifted the cherokee. I did not expect to be able to lift it but income tax was good so why not. Spent a good 800 bucks for lift and parts.
Here is a picture when it was 100% stock before and after fender cut.


And Lift.
Got springs and the guy said they will lift it 3" but unfortunately i only got 2". So we added 2" pucks. So a total of 4" in the front suspension wise and about 4.5 in the rear with the bastard pack. Plus whatever the 33's will lift me. I got shackles for the rear but did not need them as you can see.
I have very little flex because the stock shocks are pretty much maxed out. I will need some soon.
I notice now my back passenger door is open a little.

Yup mark done the fenders.
He's a good guy!
Front springs i think are grand cherokee springs. The guy said they will lift me 3" but i only got 2"
we built a bastard pack for the rear.

Did you do the cut and fold for the rear fender trim?

Gregg- I had one of my local jeep guys do it. He has done it numerous times so i figured i would let him do it so i did not screw it up.
Thanks guys.
Here's a few more pics from today.
