A full write-up including specifications of our project is available on our website: azoffroad.net/zj-project/45936...
I had one of these in college with 3" lift & 32" tires. It took me to over a dozen national parks, climbed more mountains than I can count and over 200k miles. I think they call it overlanding these days.
Yeah, that's basically what I am going to be setting my latest ZJ I just bought up for. I've had a 3" spacer lift (same as the first one I ever owned), and also a set of extended shock's to go with the lift. Running some p gauge wire to a second battery in the back for both the slamming stereo system as well as for the inverter I have sitting just waiting to be installed.
I'm making it so I can just stick the 1 or 2 subwoofer boxes in the front passenger seat when I need to fold the back seats down to sleep in it, and then I just need some more extraction gear, a hi-lift Jack and an extra tow strap aside from my tools, few spare parts, extra water, oil, gear lube and so on.
I'm hoping that I'm off to a good start..
Any cheap, but necessary other things please feel free to give me some ideas please!
**but I'm not a fan of going too big with my tires on these zj GC's. I liked the 30x9.5r15 A/T tires I had on my first one with the little 3in budget lift, and I loved the 245/75r16 aggressive All Terrains I bought new for my last ZJ which was a '98 5.9, that would have been PERFECT with the 3inch budget boost and those tires-- well, and a 242 transfer case as well!!
My brother owns a ‘95 that looks like this one. (No mods or insanely high suspension.) It’s Bright Red, and has a nice interior. It has survived 180k+ miles, so overall, it’s a pretty darn good car. We’ve had it for almost 18 years, and it still runs like a brand new car. If you need a small, cheap, and reliable SUV, this is a choice to consider.
It's looking great, thanks for sharing
I just bought a 94 zj. Just got the engine running now to the wheels tires and a 3 inch lift
Great additions
0:57 reminds me of the 80s driving around with the high - jackers on. Nice job.
now that is totally awesome video about your jeep grand Cherokee I can't wait for more totally awesome videos
Awsome video! I just purchased a 94 Cherokee v8 thanks to your video lol. I will upload the process. Thanks for bringing my motivation to work on my own vehicles back.
That's awesome, I appreciate you watching! Glad to help a fellow ZJ owner out!
Fabricio Guerrero oh wow. I didn’t know you could put a v8 in a ‘94 Cherokee
Logan Bradley sorry it's actually a 96
I have a 95 with a v8
good job!!
I have 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited as well
Hey man how much where your tires, with rim and your lift? Can you give me a link to where you got it from?
Love the red on this truck. I have always liked red and blue cars, and my car is blue
I hate looking at the road and all I see is white, black and silver
Do you still have the original square lights because I've been looking all over for them and I cannot find them anywhere
Just picked up a '00 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited. Big 8. Up in Havasu,. Come help hey her worthy sometime, hit the trails...
Looks like your spec sheet link has changed. I have this same model, looking to do a similar lift. How can i get access to it?
Where is your audio track from?
Thanks
Where did you get those type of fog lights?
I just bought a Jeep with the same lift but the guy took off the sway bar and sit this lift deletes it? Is your sway bar still installed?
Someone needs to do this and bring it to Baja 😂
Is that jerry from parks and rec
What lift kit did you use? I've got a stock 96 grand Cherokee Laredo and I'm looking to lift it.. this looks beautiful!
Thanks for watching! I have a Trailmaster 3.5" lift kit with 31s.
With a couple years in, how do you feel about this loft kit?
I just bought a 96 Cheap Van Cheroqueef
Just got a jeep exactly like that but stock this is what im gonna do to it
That's awesome. Best of luck with the build -- it's a lot of fun!
I have a 97 Grand Cherokee what is the best lift kit to buy
With a 3.5 suspension lift, did you have to install new drive shafts?
Front drive shaft -- no, but on the rear drive shaft I ended up having it re-done just to be on the safe side. When I got my jeep, the rear drive shaft was shorter than normal (not sure why) so once it was lifted it needed to be longer. Stock driveshafts may be fine.
Are you still happy with the tires you chose? I've got bfg all terrain and their great off road, but make so much noise on road. Always keeping an eye out for future replacements.
Definitely! I've had the Coopers for 2 years now. They still have plenty of tread left and are a good mix of traction and grip off-road and quiet and smooth on-road.
Get toyo open country a/ts
So you've been beating on this lift for a little over 3 years now. Still like it? Recommend it? Any tips, pro or con you'd like to mention. Got a 96 that I want to set up similar. Thanks for any update.
Hey I have the same lift kit... do you use the talk coils up front ?
Sorry meant to say tall coils not talk coil
Where did you buy the wheels from, they look really nice
I got them online from Quadratec. The specific model name is 'Black Rock Series 941 Dune', but they have several other nice styles.
Do you know what size the stock tires were? They look bigger than mine
I measured them when we did the lift and I believe they were 28s or 29s. I believe the ZJs came with a few different stock tire sizes based on the different models, but I'm not positive.
I have a question. I own a 2001 Laredo that's not a 4x4, but I'd like to lift it and give it a more rugged look. Not planning to off-road. Can I add a lift kit to a 2WD Jeep Grand Cherokee?
Certainly! You can lift any vehicle. If you were to take it off-road, you'd find better clearance would help out a lot even if you only have 2WD.
www.azoffroad.net thanks for the info! Now to find an affordable way to lift it!
azoffroad.net
Yes ill upload pics of my old one on 4.5 lift and 31s
What's your IG?
Did the 31's fit stock height? Or did you have to lift it
And did they rub?
3.5" Lift has the zj
The 31s rubbed (while turning) even after the 3.5" lift so trimming the fender was necessary. I don't think there is a way to fit 31s at the stock ride height without serious cutting.
I have a "93 Grand Cherokee I want to do this to. Sadly I'm no mechanic
gotta start somewhere, plus you have the almighty internet. :D
You can honestly find so many resources online. Plus a buddy with tools and a garage is helpful too!
Change the headlights will ya?
They were changed in Part 2.
I have custom halos on mine planning on doing the lift next
what kind of lift is this? was it affordable?
This is a Trailmaster 3.5" lift. I believe the kit was between $400-500 which is a pretty fair price.
www.azoffroad.net
Is it a 5.2?
Yeah good ole 318
Around how much did this cost?
The lift was about $450, tires were about $160/tire, wheels were $150/wheel so about $1600 worth of modifications in this video on top of the $2100 we paid for the Jeep.
David Craft I did very similar to this, but I went with 3.5" trailmaster lift, which looks the same as this, but cheap aluminum 16x8 wheels, LT265/75R16 (31.5x10.5 on a 16inch wheel) and after a lot of shopping around, and a good deal on 4 new wheels and all terrain tires the costs were: 800 for the jeep, 500 for the lift plus track bar, and 800 for the wheels and tires bought together.
U guys should mail me the old rims and tires from this lmao im broke and cant afford tires
Safety glasses! I can't believe how many videos I see where people want to go blind. THINK! Before you DO!
Oops! Someone didn't check the tire clearance before driving it. 😆
