Jeep Cherokee suspension or body lift.

<< < (3/5) > >>

jaws:
i asked the good people at KAP suzuki in keighly what they thought about extended shackles,they told me that extending the shackles by 2" is not the way to go!cheap to do and many people have it done.but apparantly they just dig into the ground!personaly i don't know,not having it done myself.was planning to but now i'm not,may do the rear though depending on the springs!

mattyme:
it looks like the way forward is gonna be the TD rear springs and spacers on the front, for a while at least. i ripped the exhaust off completely in the north yorks laning weekend!!  :? proper lift may come later!!

it came with steering protection and transfer box skid plate as standard... i know about the skid plate cos theres still half the moors stuck in it!! lol  :lol:  :lol:

Bishops Finger:
sounds like your taking your time to learn which is a good thing

Further mods will come with time :D

Popeye:
Shackle lift on a cherokee is just for the rear leafs where as a suzuki like yours and mine jaws you could have the shackles front and rear which is bad for the steering (front shackles).
   On my ex Cherokee I had a 2" coil spring spacer on the front and a 2" lifting block under the rear leaf springs, it was like that for 2 years until I sold it and it drove just like it did before the lift with a set of pro comp es9000 shockers and 235/75/15 muds and it went eveywhere I pointed it.  8)

mattyme:
ive decided to replace the rear leaf springs with heavy duty ones, as the springs that are on are nearly inverted. this is apparently a common fault on cherokees.
due to this the brake pipe has been crushed on the drivers side which needs to be replaced... also the suspension bump stop on that side is no longer there!! hence the crushed brake pipe!!
ive also purchased a 1 3/4" suspension lift kit. polyeurothane ( i think ive even got the right spelling!! lol) spacers for the front, and greasable shackles for the rear.
so, all things being fair in love and war, with a bit of luck i wont rip my exhaust off the next time i venture into some mud!! lol
ive also come across a brand new snorkel at a bargain basement price!! im sure thats gonna give me a few headaches while im fitting it tho!! lol
ill put pics up of the mods in my gallery.
