Ughh ill let you know soon first hand. Ive read hundreds of reviews but i just put mine in and waiting for 1 lousy tire to put back on the road. Also you need to cut the pocket of your front leafspring mount/bolt pocket if the welded nut on the inside of your unibody brakes off.

What's up everyone, got a quick question, figured it wasn't worth making a thread about.

Well here it goes, I recently bought a 2000 Cherokee with a 3" rusty's add a leaf lift. I was thinking about jacking it up another 1.5" with rusty's BB. I would probably need to drop the Transfer case. But what else might I have to do thanks.

Thanks! Now the lift came with rusty's front and rear hydro performance shocks. Would I still have to upgrade those?
