I'm on my second 98 plus cherokee. Current is a 2000. With both after lifting 6" there is a really strong gas smell all the time. Happens idling and while drivi g. Anyone else have this problem. I had a 91 that never did this.

Is your gas cap off? Do you leak any gas? Smell all the time or just after a fill?

Short or Long arms? Did you have to drill anywhere when installing lift? All the lines run on the drivers side.

then you damaged something while lifting it.
I'd have a hard look at the evap lines and the solenoid pack in the rear under the drivers side.

no reason that changing suspension changes emissions junk.

Quick check, open your hood and look at the injector rail specifically around the fuel pressure regulator. Look for any dripping fuel or evidence of a minor fuel leaks. Also perhaps the bolts to your lift/LA's or trans mount might have inadvertently been damaged? Our fuel lines run along the frame and right thru where the bolts go thru? Hope this helps,,,,
