if you are all ready running 33's you would notice a rise in power if you go down to 31's

well im kinda new to the whole jeep cherokee thing. i bought my jeep about 2 months ago and have gone off roading with it a couple of times. me and my friends go to talking and i want to lift my jeep. but i wanted to go with just a 3 inch lift but then i though well might as well go big or go home. im just looking for some tips on where to start. like type of lift to get, what else i need to do if i lift it. all that jazz thanks

what is the largest tire you can fit on a stock cherokee without removing any fenders and without rubbing? my suspension isnt really sagging, so im not gonna worry about that. i was told 31 10.50 would rub, but a 30 9.50 would be ok, is a 30 9.50 the limit?

There are so many companies that offer good kits. When you lift it though try to make sure it is a kit that includes everything. What size tires are you wanting to run? The size lift depends on the size tires, or the amount that you are willing to trim. If you go with a three inch kit and 31's Rubicon gets very little complaints. Make sure that the tracbar is addressed. Also when you go with a short arm kit your ride is gonna get rougher so be prepared for that. First step is to figure out what size tire you want to run and then you can figure out what kit to go with

So you dont want to lift it?

Yes but you will rub with those too a little

i have a 4" lift and on the back it was just 4" extentions that went on the leaf springs. i put a rear bumper and tire carrier on and now my back end sags like 2.5" back down and it pisses me off... what is going to be the easiest and cheapest way to fix it?
thanks for the help!

cob24

By extensions do you mean add-a-leaf? Alot of people who put those heavy bumpers on there get that drop in lift height. It aint cheap but the best would probably be new full leaf packs

amen to that. Do it right or don't do it at all!

sheepdog

no i dont want to lift it for now, not the right time or place financially, but i can do bigger tires. would the 30 9.50's rub enough to cause any concern?

ZachsXJ

they should be fine on the street. if you wheel it I'd be careful with em.

mboss1024

and i want to do it right rather then jimmy rig it but i have to have a happy medium on my wallet too because money is tight... i can do the work myself for the most part but what do you think is the best place to get new leaf packs? i thought about an add a leaf but that just seems kinda sketchy...

cob24

Add a leafs have a tendency to sag and unfortunately full packs aren't cheap. There is a guy on naxja in the vendors section that will ship you a set if re leafs for under 300 definetly cheaper than the re website. Do yourself a favor and get quality for the price you will be much happier in the Lon run. And if it sags still throw a shackle for the amount it sags. Flexes better that way anyways

I have a stock 98 Cherokee, 4x4, 4 door.

I bought a set of 15x8s with 4.5" BS. I know 30x9.5 is the largest you can go stock, but could I go 31x10.5 if I trimmed the fenders?
