nothing rides like a caddy.

But nobody wants to be jarred around while driving. As funny as it is sometimes I don't want my passengers asking me if something's broken or if were gonna die. I just want to enjoy driving my xj. Right now it's a chore and it's uncomfortable.

with long arms, cherokees can ride better than stock

I know it's hard for 80% of jeepers to justify spending $700 or so on just an arm kit, but you'll never go back to short arms.

How high a lift before you should go to long arms?

True, LT's are double walled so they're stiff, I run my BFG AT's at only 32 psi and it's still a rough ride, even at 32, the side walls don't bulge because they're so stiff.

Don't know if that low is causing excess tire wear or not.
