As the title says, just wondering if anyone knows the min. lift i'd have to put on my jeep to clear these tires. I'm not looking for a gigantic 6" lift as i'm on a fairly tight budget, but I don't want to lift my truck with hockey pucks!!

I'm pretty sure you can get 2" spacers for your springs,.. will probably need longer shocks tho

Here is a mod site for an xj - cherokee

lots of things are similar on the zj - grand cherokee

why not get blocks? it will be a harsh ride, but its cheap and effective. i lowered my first mini truck on blocks in the back 8 years ago and anytime i hit a bump i felt like my back was gonna break and the interior was coming apart. but again, its cheap and effective.

aren't blocks used mainly for leaf springs?

Grand cherokees have coils springs

i just had a small 3 inch lift on my jeep way back when and i had 31's on it and i could have fit 33's on there no problem.. so a 3 inch lift would do good.. and also my jeep my a XJ..4 door cherokee

Give Modern and National4x4 a call for quotes on some either lift coils or coil spacers and shocks etc.
You can also find good priced stuff online...ebay, calgaryjeep.com, 4wheeler.ca, kijiji etc

GL!
