I plan to buy an adjustable track bar soon as I can, and a new steering stabilizer. You don't happen to have a list of bolt sizes do you? I will probably just replace all the hardware I can. New, grade 8, rust free will make me feel a little better. If I had a blaster, I'd just blast the hardware, oil dip them, then reuse what I could, but that's not the case. Crap, I don't think my lift kit comes with a tcase drop kit...I'll have to double check. If not, I can probably just buy some cheap spacers right?

Wrap a piece of mechanics wire around the bolt and feed it up through the bolt holes and use it to pull the new bolts into the holes if the rear upper shock bolts break.... if you search there are pics and a better description

So quick questions.
How much mpg difference is 31s vs 32s?
I can fit both on a 3-3.5" lift?
Where is the cheapest place to get 3.-3.5" shocks?
What 3-3.5" coils do y'all recommend? And from where? I'm thinking rubicon express.
Also there's some jk stock stuff for sale on Craigslist around me. Will the shocks work for mine I recall reading somewhere you can use em for up to 4 or 5" of lift? What about the jk 4 door coils will they work to add lift?

There is no Cheap way to lift a vehicle. Do it right or don't do it at all.
If it matters I am running 33's on a 3.5" Re/teraflex hybrid lift getting 10 mpg with stock gearing I was getting 14 before my manifold cracked.

I recommend Re coils and leafs. With Bilstein or fox shocks Your best bet is to shop around and build your own kit. It'll be cheaper And 90% of the time work better. Asfar as shocks go with a shock that is properly valved to your Application. And use a gas shock

If I only do 3" what else had to be done? I've heard maybe a sye?

Track bars are 125-200 , Adjustable upper and lowers arms are 400-600
When you do that get new bushings for the front upper control arms.

I hope I'm doing this right! lol I'm new on here. I have a '99 Cherokee Sport, Inline 6, 5 spd. I'm finally thinking about retiring her from my DD. I'm looking at a 4.5 inch Rough country, or maybe spending the big bucks and going with a 4.5 RE. I see the recomended tire size for 4.5 lift is 32x11.50's. I'm know where I can pick up a killer deal on a set of 33x12.5's on nice rims. Is anyone else running 33's with 4.5 lift? How bad am I going to rub?

Can I fit 235/75/15 tires on my stock 2001 jeep Cherokee sport without getting a lift. Every tire website is telling me I'm plus sizing my tires. Just wondering because my the tires on it now are 225's not 235's and I'm just trying to get something a little bigger under there.
