Jeep Cherokee suspension or body lift.
Jim-Willy:
--- Quote from: "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.

Cool, Me thinks 1.75 inch aint a lot but its a start. I am doing some laning up the dales very soon as Mi Cuz has just bought a Rangey. My XJ needed new Leaves and they were a fortune so i got some from SMJ in leeds and they were well cheap.
mattyme:
ill keep my eyes open for dates and such, jim. im well up for doin some more!
enjoyed the last one so much, its been worth spendin a few quid!! lol :roll: :?
jeep quoted me 181+vat for heavy duty rear springs and ive paid 115 inc vat for them. i suppose i could have got them cheaper if id searched round... i am from sheffield after all!! lol
mattyme:
well, the suspension lift was a success!! at least its got my exhaust further away from the ground!! lol
it certainly looks the part, lets see how it performs in the mud!! hehe
Mickey:
