You use an xj main leaf and a combination of other 2.5 inch wide leaves and Cherokee leaves to get lift.

It's a lot of experimenting to get where you want it, and it will be a sacrifice in ride quality.

I had previously mentioned mine drove awful after the lift but I hadn't adjusted anything yet so it wasn't surprising. The most significant was huge toe-in. 1 1/2" difference between the front of the tires and the rear. Once I took care of that, adjusted the trackbar and centered the steering wheel it drives well now. All of that was pretty easy too.

What's the pros/cons of going with a 15x10 vs a 15x8 wheel? Thanks!

Hi guys I have a 2001 jeep cherokee sport that I want to lift around 3" but I'm a college student so I don't want to spend to much.... I found a lift kit offered by Zone offroad and was wondering if any of you guys have good or bad things to say about this kit.. http://zoneoffroad.com/product?ki=436&gr=-1 I still want my jeep to be my daily driver so I'm not wheeling it to much or to hard. Just some ocasional weekend camping trips in the woods and such... Any thoughts?
