Trying to help my brother out. He just purchased a 98 cherakee. He wants to install a lift around 2.5 to 4 inches. I have not really looked at lifts for that and don't know what his options are. Can someone point me In the right direction please |

does he want quality or cheap? home brew budget boost http://www.rocklizardfabrications.com/h ... _boost.htm my xj had a rustys kit when i purchased it. im ok with the lift because i didnt pay for it and the xj was meant for trails only(i drive it on the street alot cause its fun). it rides rough but its because of the poor control arm angles in the front and shackle angle in the rear. the rustys components have a lifetime warranty on them. which i have used and was hassle free. if i were to start over i would go with this http://www.full-traction.com/detail.php ... 510&NOTES= and this http://www.liquidironindustries.com/pro ... ctid=18222 what you need in a good lift is: adjustable aftermarket track bar good front control arm angle, longarms are best flatter leaf springs will flex better then those of a higher arch. try and stay away of add-a-leafs because they are notoriously stiff. 45 degree shackle angle properly matched bumpstops and shocks other things to consider are upgraded steering and driveline angles. |

DirtyKK pretty much said it all. I think OME has one of the best lifts for those who are looking for good ride quality. You can pretty much build an OME lift for any height between 1.5” inches to 4” inches. |
