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.

I have a 93 Cherokee with no lift, suspension is all stock. I found some nice graphite liberty wheels for cheap but they are 17 inches. What size tires can I use that won't rub? So far I've been told 235/65/17 is my only option, just wanted a confirmation. I searched but found nothing about 17 inch rims without a lift. Thanks guys.

the that was going to do it for me is not interested anymore... wel guess im back to the 3"-4" that I'm gonna do, will i require extended bump stops at that lift? im going to do the lift with rubicon express shocks.
