It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Looks good Joe. If memory serves me right, didn't you install a similar lift on your son's Jeep a year or so ago? Now you guys can off-road together.

While I have a lift and 32's on my wrangler, IMO your cherokee looked better stock. Nice shape, clean, all factory, don't see em like that anymore.

theres a reason you don't see them all stock. because they look and perform better lifted.. smile

trust me its far from spotless. no rust but not spotless. a good picture hides quite a bit.

personally i think it looks 100% better with the lift but hey thats my opinion and you have your opinion. it actually turned out exactly how i pictured it in my head the day i bought it. so i'm quite happy because they usually doesn't happen..lol

oh i can't stand that. they all recommend 3.25 backspace.. with that little backspace on a 8" wheel even a 31x10.5 sticks way out..

my son (20 years old) likes them sticking way out.. and those damn black wheels they they all run too.. i know they are cheap but man they are over done. i think they like the wheels sticking out because they can get their jeep dirty easier..lol
