Whats happenin everyone!

[itsthatbig]

hey guys, i found out about this site through James on cardomain.com and got the invite. Im kinda new to the 4x4 world and still learnin. i had a 1999 jeep cherokee classic with 5.5 inch rubicon express xj long arm kit (which i didn't put on) and made the mistake of selling it. Now i have a 1998 2-door cherokee with 3 inches of lift by coils and add-a-leafs on 31"s, but it's just not big enough for my taste. I'm lookin to build my first jeep instead of settling with someone else's work. If anyone wants to sell a compatible suspension lift for my cherokee let me know, I want to clear 33's! Any tips, advice, or help would be greatly appreciated. email is [e-mail]. Thanks!

Hey kyle!
Depending on which way you want to go, you could put a 2" Block in the rear about $30.00 from Knecks in Albany
and a 2" coil spacer and you will be able to stuff 33" or it will clear 32"s good.
Here is a cheap set of the spacers on ebay

Another idea is you could trim the fenders and use '97 or newer Jeep wrangler TJ flares with the lift you have now and get somthing like this.

This is a 3" lift and 33"s with the fenders cut and the TJ flares.

not a bad idea, i will look into that today. is that kind of lift going to cause problems with my drivetrain or anything else over time? any other ideas are appreciated.

Hey!
Nope, you just cut your fenders out and bolt those on. shawn whould be the best to talk to about it. I have never done it before.

Here are a couple more pictures of what you can do with the Fender flares.
