i have a 1996 jeep cherokee. its a 4dr. sport ho auto that is neccessary to know. Im considering doing a 3/3.5 lift and i have a couple of questions
ive been lurking around this forum and jeepforum.com and it sounds like the three main lift kits that people use are rusty's, rough country, and rubicon express. the rusty's and rough country's are significantly less exprensive. however, from reading posts it appears that the reason for this is quality of parts & ride, as well as completeness of the set up.
is this true?
does anyone know what specific parts are missing from the rusty set up compared to the rubicon?
What would you suggest for someone who does minor wheeling once a month and lives in a place where it snows heavily?
is it possible to construct your own lift with better parts for a reasonable price? (what would i need)
hiden costs of lifting? (sounds like a sye might be necessary? LCA? cost of these?)
does a 3 in lift make much of a differnece? would a 4.5 be worth the extra $?
how large of tires can i fit with minor trimming? (thinking 31 or 32)
and what sort of problems might i run into with the larger tires
i hope this is posted in the right place...
