4.5 but i would go with RE and i know for a fact you cant put a body lift on a XJ and 32s i would say run BFG KM2s or Goodyear Mtrs (w/kevlar)

 

MALL CRAWLER!!!

 

body lift on an xj?, ive heard legends n all, but thought those didnt work cause the whole unibody thing

 

if you would have read all of the posts it is stated that they do not work...

 

Not only do they not work. they don't even exist. period.

 

 

lets not all jump down my throat now....

btw that pic looks photo shopped, if its realy hows it work

 

thats cause it is photoshopped. you cannot body lift an XJ. unless you cut the unibody frame rails off and then custom fab a legit frame for it and somehow attach the unibody to the frame. It'd be probably a good 40-80 hours of work for an experienced fabricator

 

yeah zach is right, no body lifts for xj's. sorry

 

im thinking 80 hours is on the fast side....

 

You probably know better than I. I was just ballparking it. Either way it'd be a TON of work and not really worth the hassle if you ask me.

 

Hello everyone!

I had a Wrangler years ago but hated the lack of space and stiffness.
Just bought a '96 Cherokee Sport yesterday with 192K mi. and I'm changing the radiator (that's leaking) and the power steering pump, tomorrow.

The suspension is shut and have been doing a lot of reading on the forum and I have decided to go with a lift - Rubicon Express 3.5" with full set of leafs.

My questions about the lift are:
Besides shocks (I'd like to put Old Man Emu shocks - but what size for the 3.5" lift would be ideal?);
What else would I need to do for that size lift? I've been reading about changing the SYE, Tom Woods drive shaft, Adjustable Trac Bar - are all these necessary when you change the lift to only 3.5" ???

I appreciate your feedback!

Rob

 

As far as shocks just order a set for 3 -4 inches of lift you shouldn't need a adjustable track bar your driver side tire will be sticking out past your fender though. You can use a t case drop for driveline vibs. If you do go with sye best opition if you have money to burn you can get a front drineshaft from junkyard xj and have it shortend much cheaper than tom woods overpriced shaft although he does give you a cool sticker.
