cherokee lifts

[vikingwrestlin112]

i own a 1990 cherokee, i was wondering if a inline 6 4.0 will push 35's, also if i go with 35s how big of a lift will i need. im willing to trim my fenders. Also what other things would i need to do with that high of a lift. any recomendations on types of lifts. also what would be easier to do 33 12.50s of 35 12.50s? thanks

Your 4.0 is strong enough for 35's, but to get the power to the ground you will have to look into re-gearing the diff's. I would recommend a 4" lift, this will accomadate 33's and you will be having to spend some $$ to do it right. Look at rubicon, skyjacker, superlifts. All good packages, just read teh material lists CAREFULLY> for some reason they don't always list EVERTHING you will need! With a 4" lift you will be looking at replacing the driveshaft with a CV type and if your have the NP231, you will be doing an output shaft upgrade (called a slip yoke eliminator kit) With 33's you might be looking at re-gearing, but after you have the lift installed, run it and see how your power is. If you feel its lacking then a set of 3.73 or 4.10's would work nicely. Just get ready to spend $$ at the pump!!

I'm running 33's with a 4.10 ratio and REALLY want to step down to 4.56's/4.88's. Regearing is going to have to happen as well as the SYE kit if you're going that big/tall...

I'd HIGHLY ADVISE doing it ONCE. Go as big as you want the 1st time. I found the right size for me was going to be 33's/35's, so I landed at 4.5"-6" of lift.

You can get a 4.5" coil/full leaf & shackle kit and then use spacers in the front and a little fabbing in the rear to drop the shackle mounts to get to a full 6" on a 4.5" budget...
