Weighing up the options, XJ lift

[Rosie]

Well as I said before I'm really thinking this next car and project over before I comit. I've gained a hell of a lot on info of here already and im stoked with the amount of stuff availible for the XJ Cherokees.

Before I go with the jeep I was wondering what it will cost to do a 4.5" lift Properly in W.A. I should be able to fit most of it if not all of it. I only want to do it once and don't want vibrations so was after a close sort of estimate of what a quality kit will cost with the SYE done and anything else that could cause issues.

The main reason I ask is I have the option to purchase some 32x9.5 R15 Simex Centipedes at a great price which are pretty much a 33" tyre but want to know what I'll be up for to lift it to get them under there as I plan on doing it soon after I get the car. I know I'll have to cut guards when the time comes but I want to Budget it all in first.

I've seen a 96 Model sport which I'm really liking but am trying to get an idea of the overall cost including lift and muddies as I don't want to have to live with a stocker for too long.

I'd really appreciate it if you could shed me some light as I don't want to do anything on this project twice.

The RE 4.5-inch Super-Flex™ suspension system for the XJ is designed as a complete suspension system replacement. The stock components of your XJ's suspension are upgraded with our Super-Flex™ front control arms, replacement front coil and rear leaf springs and all the other components required to outfit your Cherokee with superb 4.5-inch lift suspension system. The RE XJ 4.5-inch Super-Flex™ system will improve the trail flexibility of your XJ while retaining a comfortable street ride. This system allows the use of 32"x11.50 or 33" x 10.50 tires with minor front fender trimming.

NOTE: This system is upgradeable to our Extreme-Duty™ long arm suspension system in the future.

Note: The installation of a slip yoke eliminator and a rear CV driveshaft on the stock NP231 or the NP242 transfer case is highly recommended.



Thats a good setup man, like wolfe said talk to wooders.

I bought almost the same kit... including installation ( I didnt do anything myself) but excluding tyres... I lifted mine to its current height for about $3k. (excluding SYE)

Ah ok, thanks guys. That still comes into Budget which seems good. I'll PM Wooders with the info once i know more about the exact model i end up with.

I'm tossing up between the Jeep and a V8 Disco but it looks like I'll be another Jeeper soon.

Thanks and any other info would be great.
