Hey guy's im from NC and new to jeep's and am thinkin about buyin a 93 cherokee that a guy is sellin for $650. It has some things that need to be worked on but he says he has all the parts i need to do it. I am thinkin about doin some type of 5.5 long arm lift kit and tryin to run a 35" tire. I will be doin mostly trail ridin with it and drivin it on the road but its mostly for a play vehical. I would like the jeep to be able to flex out when goin over some big rocks and stuff. Anything that you guys could tell me about what i need to look into gettin would be great.

Thanks for the help,
Derek

 

What kinda problems does it have if he only wants $650 for a 93!?!?

 

I'd say def take it... as long as it runs. (And I welcome you to the world of being insanely obsessed with your jeep )

Rough Country has been good to me... look into their new 4.5" or 6.5" LA Kits. Comes with shocks and everything you need.

 

To run a 35 with a 5.5 lift, you'll need to extend your bump stops, or trim your fenders.

 

The windshield is cracked, needs new brakes and roators, driver door looks like someone hit a mail box. Im goin to drive it next week so ill no more then. But yeah i know what this is goin to turn into with me puttin everything into this haha. I had an old bronco with 38's that was alot of fun but im not allowed to drive it anymore. Does your rough country have good flex? That was the one i was leanin toward getting if i get the jeep. Also forgot full length axles will be goin under it.

 

Ya as long as the sub frame isn't rusted out & the motor runs snach that up quick! I bought my 89 trail rig for $500 about 5 yrs ago & she going on 250.000 miles like a champ!!!

 

I used to wheel a 3" rough country suspension and I gotta say for the price I was very pleased with the amount of flex I got.

 

I just help a buddy install the RC 4.5" short arm kit (full leaf) with 2" pucks & revolver shackles! He was blown away by how much flex he got outta it!!!

IMO- Get It, the parts alone are worth well over $650!!!
