If you want it to look beefier throw some swampers on it that'll make it look mean as ever But for road driving and wear life not so good

My tires aren't worn unevenly and the lift doesn't look very recent. Can I make an "adjustment" at home if needed? I will be rotating the tires when it warms up a little bit as well to see if that helps.

I hope this is in the right section or please move it to where it belongs. Thanks.
I'm no expert in this stuff and may be wrong but when I put my 3" lift on I unbolted my track bar or something down there to get the axle to drop low enough to get the springs in and that got the wheels out of line big time and it was pulling to the right as well. Got an alignment and was good to go. I'd just go and get an allignment if I were you.

I know you said wheels, but i think Irongrave thought you meant tires. You said its a 2wd so im guessing your lifting it to throw some big wheels under it right? not bigger tires? Just to clear things up and get you the right answer

OK, thanks. I'm sure it won't hurt anything other than my wallet.

for those specifically? Thats probably just a ploy to sell shocks.

Every true pre-runner I've ever seen has coil overs not a coil and shock setup.

My girlfriend loves my jeep and wants one for herself and I found a 97 jeep cherokee on craigslist up for sale http://wyoming.craigslist.org/cto/2253469724.html seems like an ok deal but just kinda worried about the 200,000 miles part of it. What you guys think?
