Recomendation for lift kit
Alright, so I decided I am going to go with a 4.5 lift and 31's on my 88 Jeep Cherokee. Any recommendations for a brand online? Or a specific link to a website/listing for one that you know is a good brand and will work well? I would prefer something no more than $1000 but i want it to be nice too, and done right with all the suspension and everything. (Suspension lift not body)

Having second thoughts on what tire to buy.. for sure mtrs but im debating 32x1150 or 33x1250. It'll be on 4.5" of lift with flat bushwackers for clearance. Will there be much difference? If i go with 32 i save about $200 but thats not a big deal to me

Take a look at this seem on your Jeep. Take a big hammer to it and beat it in and make it flat all the way around. Here's mine before I did it. It's easy.

I know, it doesn't feel right to beat the crap out of a perfectly good vehicle. It's a seam where 2 parts are welded together. All the XJs I roll with have done it. There are no moving parts and it doesn't prevent anything from being taken apart. I would guess that it's a bad idea to cut it off because you lose the welds.
