Cherokee's have a unibody and you can not put a body lift on them.
but you can do a budget boost. Coil spacers and a shckle.

The solution to your problem is trimming+bumpstops.

I'll assume you are being seriuos and answer the question.

The XJ is a "uni-body" construction and there are other turms that others use but what that means is the frame and body are one unit and cannot be divorced or seperated.

Sorry dude, you will have to go suspension all the way.

EDIT: you guys type faaast!

as mentioned it is impossible to get a "Body Lift". The cheapest way to get your 2 more inches of lift is the COIL SPACERS and LONGER SHACKLES...

However this can also mean driveline modifications... and most likely new shocks as well.

for even cheaper he can go to home depot and get a sawzall for $60 (i actually like using a jig saw for fender trimming) may even beable to get one cheaper at wally world

The body lifts are at the store, right next to the headlight fluid......

The squeek could be your radiator bearings. Get some cross drilled break lines while you are at it when you replace the rad bearings, it'll be easier since you have to remove the carburetor to get to the IFS head bolt.

Yea i just had to replace those exaut bearings last week, u gotta watch out for the wiper hydraulic line too.

razdrvr · Jul 12, 2008

Need one of these?

sherman08 · Jul 12, 2008

O.K. im sorry but i gota ask, honest to god how much do you think it would take to do a bodylift on an XJ. Of course with no regard to end result, functionality and cost?

razdrvr · Jul 12, 2008

:conceited :sure: :smsoap: :wstupid:

sherman08 · Jul 12, 2008

I think it could be done, what happens if u just cut a seam all the way around and added sheat metal? lol nevermind it would just make it taller, not higher, O.K. i got it, just slap the XJ top minus suspension drivetrain etc. on like a Blazer frame, insirt bodylift and presto!
