[3Jx]

did you ever have any problems with the death wobble

[3Jx]

that song is not stuck in my head

[222chancho]

donde puedo obtener el kit de elvacion ??? Para un 2003 soy de costa rica un link de compra >>>>>>??????????????

[xboxisbetta]

Hey, What kit did you choose? Price? im looking into this but im not sure on a few things.

[keonisitar]

Where did you get your kit at?

[rumswigger]

did ya have to sye or does she work fine with the 4 inch? thinking on getting either a 3 or 4 inch in a couple weeks and worried about drive shaft problems...

[UBBERTANKER]

did you have fun with the rear upper shock bolts and leaf bolts lol I know i sure did

[drwitt69]

Very big thanks for reply @oIIIIoJEEPoIIIIo, my Jeep runs only old man emu's, springs and all the rest is still stock. Old mans + Goodrich BajaCompetition make it run approx 1" higher than stock, not enough! Can't decide betwen Roughcountry or RE lift kit.

[drwitt69]

Can it be a one man job or no way? How much more complicated is this to do on a Grand Cherokee ZJ 96' ?

[olllloJEEPollllo]

@drwitt69 ZJ lifts are EASY to do.. on an XJ the rear Leaf's can be Really hard to deal with. so for a 96 zj. you will need rear coil's and front coil's . id check to see what size lift ur after.. for the coil's. then with that you will need to upgrade. swaybar mount's and drop ur pitman arm if it's over a 4 inch lift. Then possibly might need a Slip Yoke Elimanator installed for ur drive line's.it can be a one man job. but i would start with getting kit's that come with all of what you need

[jeepcherokeetallia]

what size jackstands did you use?

[TheSkiddey]

for all of you who cant afford a good set of coilspring compressors; all you need to do is remove the tierod from the axel, remove brakelines, remove the tracbar, remove the LCA, and disconnect the swaybar. your axel should go down to full drop and you will be able to easily put the coil in. you should replace most of these anyways when you're doing a lift.

[rccrawler94]

did you just replace the spring and shock or did you put the longer control arms on it too ?

[sik05civic]

WOW... i cant beleive they didnt throw in a set of Lower Control arms... your LCA angle is pretty harsh, i would invest in some adjustable lower control arms, you will double your droop by installing some better lower control arms the IR-SHDCA model number in particular. also because your at 4 inches it wouldnt hurt to get their double sheer track bar too. just tryin to help out a fellow jeeper, i had a 4" lift on my jeep and it flexed very well

[herodboy01]

Did you have to extend any brake lines?

[TheXJthatCould]

god i hate those rims >.< snowflake looking things idk what the company was thinking when they put those on....but nice lift man!

[elitecssplayer]

Great song pick!

[Videoguy1991]

do they make a suspension lift kit for a 2wd wj??

[x0thraxxorx0]

@Videoguy1991 no.

[Pitviper4Gunrights]

Awsome mod man and kick azz song ya picked for the vid.

[07RedRider400]

did u have to get a transfer case drop? im planning on doing a 3" lift to my 2001

[Cod5WawKilla]

yo whats this song called?

[borrowedparts]

it is taller, and with the sway bar disconnect it will flex ok, but shoulda jumped for the longer arms... it improves the flex immensely

[Declipse16]

did you do a t-case drop? i don't understand how to do it at all... i just got a 94 cherokee and want to put a rubicon express 3.5 superflex lift on it

[otherstuffbybob]

Thanks for the video...I just bought a 4" lift from Iron Rock for a WJ and will be installing it right after I learn what a bushing, track bar and a sway bar is (I kid you not!)

[sslother]

at 3:35 what is that piece called so i can order one

[Guitarpixx]

@sslother Sway Bar Link

[dunay21]

I have a 2000 XJ sport and i want a 3 inch lift. I have 118K miles and im worried it will die and ill waste my money. what do you think? by the way im new to working jeeps

[matthatesford]

@dunay21 no, u are fine. 4.0s are the best engines jeep ever made and the transmission and transfer case are very good too. that 2000 will last for many many years. the powertrain and drivetrain at least

[jeepcherokeetallia]

nice jeep but man you need bigger tires.

[80TRIUMPH08]

what special tools were nedded?

[80TRIUMPH08]

i have and older jeep cherokee and dont plan on doing to much off roading but i love the look of a lift, should i just get the spring spacers or what ever their called or go for a body/suspension lift?

[Drckarvo]

@80TRIUMPH08 if your gonna do a lift it will have to be a suspension lift due to the fact that Cherokees are unibody and a body lift is not compatible

[matthatesford]

@80TRIUMPH08 i hate people with lifts and dont use them. what a waste of a jeep

[dgbaxendale]

I'm thinking of getting one of these 4" lifts for an XJ, how did you find the kit? Did you experience any vibrations from the drive shaft? And more importantly being in the UK did it kick Land / Range Rover butt :).

Nice vids by the way.

[UBBERTANKER]

do you need to compress the coil springs? cant you just jack up the axel to compress them?

[juppfalt]

Where did you get those tow hooks?

[Mad1rishMan]

What song is that?

[iENJOIskating209]

one question. did u change the brake fluid cables to reach?

[dirtbikerman1234]

whats the song i forget it? nice jeep

[Nigel4400]

Hey looks like a lot of good fun!!! I got a question: I just got my lift shipped in (rough country 6.5 inch) and will need a spring commpressor, or will the axle move enough to just slide it in??

[houserskates123]

the hardest part about doin a lift on a cherokee is the top shock bolts on the rear like to snap off, use a lot of penetrating oil and move the bolt back and forth before tryin to take it sompletely out

[GrandChe89]

did you not put swaybar disconnects in the front? it looks like you just put extended swaybar endlinks. I would invest in some disconnects, or home brew some of your own if you don't have the money. If you wheel like that you will break the endlinks.

[rumswigger]

did you need to go with the sye kit too? i'm thinking on lifting my xj more (only 2 inches now) but hear alot of rear drive shaft and u joint problems with a 4 inch unless you go sye... and there a pain for a 8.25

[persons233]

hey, i have a similar cherokee like yours, i mean like the air intake....do you think there is a cold air intake for my 95 cherokee????????

[creed1230]

what kits is for people on bugets projects

[crazy5kid]

hey i was wondering if how ur rig handle on the road cause i want to put the same lift on my jeep but i heard they a very likely to flip and i need mine for day to day driving

[JTJG94]

how much are spring comressors?

[bill4483]

Did you remove the rear sway bar or connect it after?

[AmericanJeeper]

Hi @bill4483,

Yes, I did this every time when I go to off roading.

Have nice time plaing off road.

Kris

[DeanYZ125]

do you still have a dana 35 in the rear of that jeep?

[350vroom]

not supposed to use an impact on spring compressors. dont really need to use the spring compressor anyway. just unbolt the controll arms and the suspension will droop enough to put the spring on. nice video though. jeeps lookin pretty good!

[Balowin]

wish my Dad would do this kinda stuff for me... my Dad sux ass.. fuckin drunk...

[jaysayershuh]

I hear ya man

[TheBadBaron]

all I can say is KARMA lol, I just hope things get better for ya!

[lacrosseman706]

hahaha..man its not hard to do...its actually easy...they should come with detailed instructions too..if you know anything about cars/tools you will be fine

[ShitStainProductions]

im attempting to do it myself with little to no knowlege of suspension and tools lol i'm in trouble

[rmassie11]

@Balowin lol, mine too, fuckin useless piece of shit

[BmxDieseldude]

@Balowin you mean with you, brat.

[sdantone]

@Balowin well, if you need someone to talk about life and your dad..I'm here

[SALLENS7TWINTURBO]

@Balowin dude that sucks my friends dad is like that. i hope things get better for you.



[AllAlaskan907]

@Balowin Wish my dad was still alive to help me when I was a kid to do this kind of stuff. A bit harder when no ones there for ya hu :( You know what though, life goes on. What dont kill ya, makes ya stronger :D

[gonzotxmx]

Did you need a SYE or just drop the transfer case?

[denraweb]

I had a 4" lift on my xj cherokee, and I didnt install a sye, but I recommend it. I had vibrations at the freeway, but if you do more city driving, or just some crawling on the weekends, its not required...

[xJEEPXJ]

it will help alot but well worth the price, if you dont, it will put alot of stress on the output shaft of the transfer case will cause the seals to fail leaking fluid everywhere. trust me it happened!

[drummer2788]

Awesome!! Have one question.. was it easy? because im planning to install one myself and some friends.. on my Cherokee 95!

[AmericanJeeper]

Hi Drummer2788,

If you have good tools and some support it's easy to do this job. Whole informations you can find on the internet how to do step by step.

Kris

[drummer2788]

Cool.. Yea a cousin says he has some of those tools! Hope it doesn't come difficult for us! Thank you Kris!

[SALLENS7TWINTURBO]

@AmericanJeeper Hey I'm looking to buy a Cherokee, I test drove it too. I'm going to do 4 wheelin and commuting does it ruin the ride comfort when you lift it like that.? Thanks.

[drummerman6964]

i have a dana 44, and my coil spring mounts are rotting out. would you know where to find replacements?

[AmericanJeeper]

hi,

you should try find in 4x4 or off road special shops. If still can not find try on internet. Good luck and gogogo Jeep

[Frankamc]

@drummerman6964 energy suspension makes replacements for cheap, they also make block lifts for the front.

[ChainerX]

Looks like you steering is backwards compared to mine. Must be a right hand drive.

[350cutlassrocket]

Great job! Just curious, did your rear shock bolts break off? The two Cheorkees that I have had and my friends all broke off. I just got another Cherokee and am dreading doing the back because I am sure they are going to break.

[chirsis]

what's the name of that song?

[AmericanJeeper]

bring sally up, bring sally down from the move "60 seconds" good luck

[kmrjeep]

Quick tip if you take the lower control arm loose at the axle just on the side your changing the spring you dont need the spring compressor just do it one side at a time it allows the axle to droop out enough to fit the springs in.

[SuperTraveling72]

From standard version to tuned off road version, great job for all the time you've spent on doing it. :)

5/5

[SendersBarag]

nice... beautiful modification
