Having the spacers is a total bad thing just the cheap way to life your jeep if your goin full out rock crawl an max flex then yes full coil is better but mild wheeling driving around spacer wont hurt anything

yep. Riley have you considered buying a honda instead? all lifted cherokees will probably require constant attention. if you don't even know the basics you probably shouldn't go spend $6500 on a lifted jeep..

We started with $1000 jeeps or less and this isn't my first jeep. Going out and blowing $6500 on a lifted xj is very different.

I would rather spend 6k on a clean lifted Cherokee then spending 1000 and having my jeep catch on fire,(Like your profile pic). I am not going to get crazy and bash up my ride like you might; I actually take care of my stuff. lol.

Yes I am, I am just got started off roading. I have stupid questions because I do not know as much as you do (obviously). In OC a stock Cherokee goes for about 5500. With the Rubicon lift, exhaust, and how clean this Cherokee is, I think it is worth the 6k. Penny pinchers like you may think otherwise.

Alright, so this kid keeps raising the price. First is was 6k then he went to 6500 now he is at 7k, so Atmos or anybody else could you recommend a clean cherokee? I found this one on CL.

What do you think?
Thats too much money for an xj and that xj is the one with the faulty head. Your looking at some sweet rides but dont be fooled by the lifts and the tires because you'll get jipped if you fall for that stuff. Buy a nice xj around $3k and you throw the lift and tires you want and make it look the way you want. By the jeeps your showing us its safe to say that you have money and your budget is pretty high. You can make an xj look mean like that with $2k. So your not a gearhead right? Not all of us are, I had my 4.5 lift installed for $300. Seriously consider building your own rig bud the results are 10x better when you do things yourself.
