Cherokee lift

[bottomline89]

I'm looking into lift kits and want to decide what i'm getting now so i can crunch some numbers and start saving

 

My question: would this cherokee lift kit work on an mj even though mj's are a leaf under axle?

i saw that one and thats going to be my fall back, but the wheels and tires are cheaper and easier to get with the complete package

those XJ lift leaf packs will be worthless to you. but converting your truck to SOA using your stock leafs will give around 6" of lift.

would you just build on this to get the 6"?

[Pete M]

I wouldn't use that. the fixed LCAs (and maybe other things like the trac bar) won't be proper for 6".

the long travel MJ kit is what I would get

ok. next question.. i'm aiming for mud. and i want mickey thompson mtz but its a dd so i'm on roads most the time and i heard they wear down faster than atz.

is there a huge performance difference in atz and mtz? is there an alternative that's better?

I'm runing the mtz on my dd cherokee they last along time and do great in mud

just remimber to rotate them are they start to rore realy laud :doh:

[Pete M]

I have a separate set of tires for mudding. means they last a lot longer and I can run normal treaded tires for the street.

well i'm just making sure.. i figured it was from my friends peeling out at every red light then telling me they wear down fast :shake:

 

and i'll be sure to rotate them against my love for the sound of off road tire's hum on pavement
