Default New jeep. Quesrions.

I am finally getting a new jeep and wanted to know if the lift kit from my jeep would work on the new one. I have a rc 3.5' lift on my 1996 Jeep Cherokee with a 5speed. My jeep is a 2wd. The new jeep is a 1996 Jeep Cherokee 5speed with 4wd and is ironically almost the sme color. !!!!! Will the kit just seal
Over or not.

(not profesional) i would think so, normally the difference between 2wd and 4wd jeeps, especially with the same year, is much of a difference. and ive never seen anything about 2wd specific lift kits, or about have to mod one to make it fit.

so i would say it SHOULD (not promising) just go right in. but lets see if anyone else says something.

The 2wd jeep uses the same suspension set up and same front axle minus the pig so there is no reason the lift in question would not transfer to the new jeep

Sweet. Thanks you guys. Now all I have to do is buy is and take all of the stuff that I have worked so hard on pitting in my current jeep, out and into the new one when I get it which includes lift, wheels and tires, HIDs, put on new window tint, most likely tint the tail, turn and blinkers, and the most painful of all..... my stereo which I just recently completed by installing my tweeters. Now has to come out. The hi's amp, my JL audio bass amp under the back seat, my 15" JL woofer , all 4 of my door speakers, an the tweeters. Then I have to reinstall all of it along with the head unit. Lol. I would pay to have someone do the audio but I would be broke as hell by the time it was complete. Lol. I can have my windows tinted at a local shop for less. Lol. At Keats it is gona be a 4x4 and a stick shift and it has power locks and windows all for the same price that I paid for my current jeep when we first got it. Check out the pix and see how similar they are. It's like a dream come true. Mine has the same color interior but the exterior is different. And my hid's are now retarded white an not purple anymore. Lolz.
