Hmm. And you can use google to ONLY search cherokeeforum.com. Go to google and enter site:cherokeeforum.com what I'm searching for in the search box. That will search ALL the threads ...everything ...in the entire forum. You can locate everything posted under your username, even. Works for other sites too. Pretty useful.

Er ...just in case: "what I'm searching for" should be the words you want to find. Like my last search was site:cherokeeforum.com upcountry shocks xj ...and that gave me pages of different threads, all from Cherokee forum. And I just tried site:cherokeeforum.com cog and that thread was at the top of the google list. Just FYI.

I run Kendas on my wheelchair. Didn't know Kendas used to be cheap. I have a set on my mtn bike and spares for my road bike too.

No clue about the 31" truck tire though.

Default What 3" lift kit for on road handing.

I am looking to buy a 3" lift kit for my 95 sport but want to retain as much of the on road handing as possible as i have heard some lift kits can make your jeep handle like a boat and i dont want to spend a fortune.
Any ideas would be great.

Buy a 3.5 inch rubicon express superride kit with full lea packs, some bilstein 5100 shocks for a 4" lift and some 31 inch Goodyear dura tracks.

I pulled the trigger on the same tires you have, and we have the same lift. How are your bump stops set up?

Mine did, i just have a t case drop, and 4 degree shims. You won't know for sure till you lift it, but you will most likely need to do something.

Which would you guys recommend the 2-2.5 or 3-3.5 OME ultimate hybrid kit running 30 or 31 inch tires with stock rims and without cutting/folding the fenders. If any of you have the kit some pictures would be greatly appreciated.
