jeep cherokee wheels & lift

[stampeder]

where can i get a reliable lift kit thats it not overly expensive to buy and install? im thinking 3"

also where can i find black rims and huge tires for my cherokee

im trying to convert my regular cherokee sport into something i can take off roading in the summer, any suggestions of parts or mods i can do that will be very helpful as this is the first time ive tried doing something like this

Time to surf www.nakja.org

For rims and tires you can go to Kal Tire (or similar) and get steelies with tires. Do you want something super aggressive or something that will be good for winter roads as well?

[barmanjay]

These guys are good guys with lots of info

www.calgaryjeep.com

If they don't know,.. they\ll direct you to somewhere that does

buy something with a frame .....not knocking jeeps but there unibody nothing cheap for them, unless you feel like cutting fenders good luck try 4wheeler.ca

[stampeder]

something that will be good for winter roads aswell, im not going to do any hardcore off roading but i want to be able to take it up into the logging roads and stuff at my cabin. besides bigger tires and lift is there anything else you can suggest?

[Euro_Trash]

Get the stock skid plates and tow hooks
Don't buy mud terrain tires if you want tires for the winter and summer

I have dick cepec Radial F-C II all terrain tires 33" (from modern motors on Blackfoot) on my TJ and they work really good as an all terrain and look really aggressive. You might need more than 3" lift to clear 33"s on the cherokee though. An easy and cheep way to lift your jeep would be

and something like this

This would be the cheepest way to clear some big tires on your jeep.

Good luck.

4.5" in 2 flavours, will fit a 32" tire (rare tire, not many manu's make em) or 33 with some fender cutting.
5.5" in 2 flavours, fits 33" tire
etc

Rock Krawler
Pretty much same as above, but more $$

Claytons

Specialize in Long Arm kits...fantastic technology, and you pay for it. Mixed reviews on support, and being able to get hold of them for service.

T&T

Wow. Impressive looking hardware, but....$$. NAXJA reviews have complained about service.

Rusty's

Wider selection (comparable to RE) and competitive prices.

Good luck. [/B]

That would be a great start to get so 31"-32"s on there

[Unknown303]

And if you do want some nice Mud Terrain tires Toyo Open Country M/Ts are probably your best bet as they still have decent traction during the winter and they last forever, I know some operators in Grande Prairie who run them for 60k.

No mud terrain is good for icy roads. The chunky rubber turns into hockey pucks

thanks guys for the help i just got back from mexico and picked up my jeep today, im stoaked to get these mods done, not sure where to start with all this help haha, will post picks of new cherokee when im done with the mods

[stampeder]

[3Flo]

Hey thanks for all the great info RedApe!

I'm also looking into lifting my XJ and getting some 33's on there.
My buddy has a Rubicon Express kit on his '01 XJ and it looks incredible!

[barmanjay]

There is alot of helpful info here: www.calgaryjeep.com

I helped my buddy lift his XJ... coil spacers in the front and shackles in the rear, 30 in tires... about a 2 inch lift. It could use a helper spring in the back, though.
Lift was $100, tires (bfg a/t's) are $170 each at costco. Took half a day to install. You won't be able to fit a spare much bigger than stock inside, though, and rear bumper tire mounts are $600+
