You might have trouble fitting it in there with the steering stabilizer bracket.

I am looking to lift my stock 1991 cherokee. What in anyones or everyones opinion is a solid good all around mud , rock , dirt , desert kit. I pretty much want to do as much as I can and still drive her home. Ive been looking at the Rustys 6.5 kit or a 4.5 kit. No blocks with deavers or national springs in the rear. Sye will be no prob. pretty much whatever it takes a build a tough rig...

Rock Krawler makes a long arm kit that can be used as a 3 link or a 4 link. It's super tough and really good for everything. I love my rustys coils. Deaver and national both make awesome springs. Seems like you're on your way to a really awesome lift. Make sure you put up a build thread!

A lot of people on this forum and others don't like rustys many people complain about their customer service, but from what I've seen around the forums most of their products are pretty good.
