    Ronnie, I really appreciated your comment on supporting police since I'm one. We don't get many positive words these days. My son has a Cherokee and were going to tackle this lift idea. Thanks for the video.

      "We don't get many positive words these days" Last time I interacted with a cop,he wrote me a fix it ticket for a headlight out.I tried explaining that the bulb wasn't the problem,but I may as well have been talking to a brick wall.Luckily he wrote the ticket on Friday and I had til Monday to fix it or there's no way I woulda been able to get it fixed in time.I dread coming into contact with road pirates.

      Haven't needed you for anything yet.And your shitty attitude isn't helping your public image.You're just giving me more reason not to like your kind,as if I needed any more reason.

      Gordo Miguel / I don't want you to like me. And next time, stick to the subject matter. Its a Cherokee instructional video, not a cry baby forum. BLUE LIVES MATTER.

    U can use grinder..I worked at fleet pride..did a few hundred spring builds.. used torch and cut off... just as long as there are no gas leaks.. if u are scared...use a cut shield to block the sparks

    Since it is a 5 spd and going with 33" tires I would look for a set of axles from a auto xj so u can get better gearing on the cheap. By far the best up-grade I have done. Also if it's a 35 u can go with the 8.25

    Hey Cherokee Ronnie. I did a budget pack out of f150 leaf springs love it. Didn't care to much for the S10 pack. But I also wanted to go bigger later now 8.5 in and 34 in swampers no issues yet it's been on for 3 years now.

    Good ideal thanks,,, I did mine with hijacker air shocks on all four corners,,. Separate Airlines on the rear,,. Tee'd together on the front,,,. 31-9.5. No cutting whatsoever,, gave me a total of 8 in Overstock,,,. !!! And rides excellent,,,. Way better than it did stock,,,. !!!

    Awesome looking xj. Hope your family member is feeling better. Great vid, I can't wait to do the lift on my xj. I've gotta find someone willing to help me. Just got the oil filter adapter rebuilt and changed the oil sending switch replaced. Slow but true, lol. Keep on keeping on brother.

    Longer shackles for the rear lift will rotate your pinion upward and screw up the drive shaft angles! Creates nasty vibrations and shudder in the drive shaft when you accelerate from a stop. I fixed mine with angled shims under the leafs and a transfer case drop.

    235/75r15s get you 1.75 axle lift , they cost about 25 each @ u pull it/craigslist, moneroe air shocks cost me $59 dollars at napa for the rear . Then i stuffed my front springs with the tallest helper bags I can find on ebay $39 think they are for a coil spring dodge ram , i chose this way for simplicity/ease and when I air down it rides normal , no alignement cost no replacing the pitman or track bar , its the way to go on a daily driver guys. It will go 4.25 inches maxxed air but rides harsh 2 inches of air lift plus the 1.75 the tires gave me rides well

    Great video man. What do you think about a trailmaster 4.5” lift I’m seeing it for around $650 to $750 I’m not sure about the quality. I currently have a 3” rough country lift with 31” bfg km2’s but I’m wanting a bit more flex and to be able to run a 33x12.5R15’s. I would appreciate your opinion on what lift to get, would you be able to suggest a lid where I can get away without having to re gear or do an sye and cv rear drive shaft. Thanks

    I have a 2000 and 89 my 2k is my daily but I want to do a 5-6 inch lift for my 89 trail rig. Junkyard build is what I want to do. If you can help a brother out. Right now my 89 is running lean and won't pass smog. It currently has about a 3 inch lift

    I have subscribed thank you for you support I'm 13 years Army at this point and just re-enlisted for 3 more years so thank you for your support. People like you make it worth it. So my question comes from, could you do a video on a basterd pack lift as a revisit on how it's holding up and your thoughts and reviews on one you have done? I want to do a 3 inch lift and can't decide basterd pack or save the money and get a 3 inch from RC or zone. Also is it safe to haul a family around in? I'm new to the Jeep world but not the mechanical world. I finally got a Jeep. It's a very clean all stock low mile 1988 co. I'm excited. Thank you for your time sir keep up the good work. God bless.

      I'm doing a lift on my buddy's 86 cherokee and he went with the 3 inch zone lift. It's pretty simple to install but 2 things you need to know. You will have to get an adjustable track bar if it's a 3 inch lift or bigger also the u bolts that come with won't match up with the stock bracket that sits on top of the leaf springs.

    Man i have 2000 XJ 4.5 lift, Dropped pitman, hevy duty steering, 2 inch spacers and 33x13.5xr15 TOYO Open Country. Its great offroad, but steers like shit on highway, extremly hydroplaning on a water, also allighment just done, new u-joints and uper lower ball joints. What i can do to make highway driveing better? Regards Greg.

      Grygorii Zasanov Make it stock lmfao. You really can’t do too much. You can upgrade all of your suspension and steering components to match with the lift. It’s pretty expensive though.
