went with a rubicon express 3.5" super ride kit. also go their adjustable track bar.




old vs new front springs and lower control arms.

new vs old springs:




right read finished...






on the ground with the stock wheels...

with the new wheels and tires..:)

Looking good.

Sweet

sweet project, and looks nice in the end. would have been just as cool, added to your original topic...

now go out there, and get some mud on her.

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.

thanks man,,

yes we put 3.5 and 31's on his.. he just put another 2" on and a set of 33's. can't wait to get out with him. he is already talking crap..lol



this is his before the extra 2"

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..

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

Looks Good.
Kids Nowadays think Stance means having your wheel's stick way out. Glad to see someone understands its more than that

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

Stanced Cherokees are awesome!
