Iron rock off-road has kits for everyone budget and they send you ever thing that you need to install.customer service is also awesome.

[@haven7388]

Don't go the cheap option. Especially with bacon

[@mrh8562]

I've had great success with the rc long arm kit with full re springs front/rear👍

[@mtbninja897]

Good content related to Cherokee. First video I’ve watched in awhile. Not complaining. Just giving feedback. I only subscribed for Jeep content. So I agree with the feedback you referred to on the video. It’s a Jeep thing 🤪🤘

[@onefastcyclist]

Nice video Ronnie! If someone wants a great modest lift (2" lift with 30" tires) I'd recommend Old Man Emu springs & shocks that will provide an excellent ride and are durable enough for moderate trails ( about 70% of the trails in California are rated moderate)- worth the money over the long hall. in addition, Rubicon Express control arms and moog suspension parts: tie rods and ball joints will complete a 1st class build

[@williamjacobs4274]

Good video. Hope you keep making videos. Your down to earth. And tell it the way you see it. Thanks.

[@gavingilreath7533]

Just got a zone lift for my xj it rides great ! Thank you so much

[@williamdomey7584]

Thanks for the video. I bought a 2000 XJ with the Rough Country 4.5” lift. Going to change out the shocks. Don’t have the money to change the lift. Hoping it works for Overlanding.

[@garyt3hsna1l82]

Been wheeling my 4.5 RC kit since 2015, i had to replace the tires, shocks, and steering stabalizer immediately (death wobble) bilstein shocks fixed the ride. ive also added a 6' drop pitman and some 6" leaf spring shackles; ive also replaced the rear spring bushings with some poly eurethane ones when they started chattering - the sway bar bushings are also overdue for a replacement. I think i'm on my 3rd tie rod they break at the nut post if you wheel them too hard (good part to keep on hand for $130 or so) i've also broken a control arm mount (not sure how it happened). I do pretty light wheeling these days mostly grocerry runs alot of this stuff is just regular wear and tear but it does add up.

[@randelcaudle7435]

Great video always enjoy very informative thanks

[@jonnyweston]

Didn’t turn my back....just didn’t know you were here!!

[@NorEastBeast]

I have experiance with several xj lifts and for the money it's Zone Off-Road hands down. Affordable and excellent quality as they are owned by BDS

[@r6clipz56]

Just installed a zone offroad 4.5” in my 99 it rides really good haven’t gotten to wheel it yet but so far I love it

[@pvmwarchief]

What car and what size tires?

[@Dukers2300]

He said 99 xj…..

[@ThyWillRotRonn]

I started junk yard...my main spring on the cherokee was broke, so we shoved the full s10 leaf spring in with poly bushings and 3" silverado drop shackles. I bought Crown brake lines and SYE. My front has cut down JK lowers, and core 4x4 adjustable uppers. My buddy is a bronco guy, and said bronco coils are taller than f150 coils. I got some stock bronco coils from him and then he gave me some bronco coils for a 3" lift, thats what i ended up using. Im running a WJ front drive shaftand a custom rear, Rubicon Express sway bar disconnects. JKS track bar, and skayjacker shocks. And i just bought cav fabs high clearence steering. Its sitting on 35s. I'm thinking about going 3 link now though.

[@ProjectDanH]

You used a David Auto Sport XJ as your thumbnail.

[@randomritchie]

Rough Country beans finally spilled. Thank you, someone with cred finally said it.

[@kennethlindahl9206]

thx bud I was looking at a 2 in from zone

[@gregj.gotham4402]

I went with Quadratec and got their 3 1/2” Rubicon express kit for Chrysler 8.25 . Everything in one package kit. Just purchased my 2001 XJ the guy before me addded pucks up front and add a leave in rear. Rear springs are about ready to break. So I went with Quadratec Rubicon super ride no shocks I purchased Rubicon 3 1/2”-4” shocks alone then the kit. Haven’t installed it yet cuz delivered today on a Sunday ordered Friday super fast shipping. Only thing missing is coils they are in Syracuse 30 minutes away. Raining today anyways. I will start install as soon as it is no rain for three days I will start.

[@devinbarker8308]

I have a 4.5 zone lift on my xj it works grate

[@Spaceberries12]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’ve heard that BDS is a pretty rough ride when it comes to the Cherokee, but great when it comes to bigger trucks

[@almeridacars2684]

Jeep toda una pasion

[@carlnelson1400]

I got a rough country lift on my jeep and I got 10,000 miles on it. The only problem I got is that it's getting rusty in the Minnesota winters. I think it's the installers and the operator.

[@keithbaker1951]

If I do a 2-3 S10 main spring do I need to do lower control arms? Springs? Shocks ect? I don't have much money but need to make her at least as tall as a stock chevy equinox with a stick figure family in the rear window.. lol also I NEVER TAKE HER ON LEGIT TRAILS I typically just spin some tires in muddy fields on the farm a few times a yr.. thanks again! Love the channel!

[@keithlea6804]

I have had many lifted rigs all makes and models. The nicest lift of all the brands that I have used is Rubicon Express. My 96 Cherokee rides like a Cadillac.

[@mrautomatech2329]

Keith Lea Which Rubicon lift kit did you go with?

[@yryama]

I have a 96 myself, exactly what model lift of Rubicon Express? And what tire sizes?

[@thecheeksta9370]

Thank you!

[@miguelortiz391]

Thanks brother

[@toomanyprojectstx]

thank you.

[@xanderlander8989]

I'm going for 2-3 inches, but I want good (30-45 deg) shackle angle for ride quality. Ideas?

[@zackjaramillo]

1:50 i am looking at a 3 inch rough country lift on amazon but it uses an add a leaf but. my leafs are pretty trashed already and i plan on buying new leafs to put on with the lift. would that keep it from sagging?

[@abdallahmoussa1983]

What about rubicon express? Planning to go with 4.5” lift kit. What else i should buy along with the lift kit. ?

[@wildwolvesadventures735]

Hey where did you get that red rear diff cover on the 8.25

[@Coyotekillaz]

Alright brother I’m looking for rude quality at 3 inch lift. I bought for hunting rig. Deep snow and mud but I drive some distance in Highway to hunt a lot and ride quality for me is HUGE. What do you recommend for that

[@williammoore7861]

Just bought a xj. So ya get my views bud

[@GuyKirk]

new sub here. i love jeeps. i have a 2000 wj with a 3in lift.

[@MrsNsf74]

What front control arm would you recommend for a 2001 jeep 4x 3inch lift?

[@cherokeeronnie]

Freedom off road or if you have the money Rustys

[@shevtsov622]

Yea with attitude

[@wesbullock1233]

Keep you chin-up my dude. You videos help me.

[@1598hi]

So heres my build. It's not on the truck yet just sitting in boxes. Installing it next week. Rubicon express 3.5 superflex with monotube shocks, iro track bar with drop kit, advance adaptors sye and once the lift is on and I can measure, a custom Adam's drive shaft. I chose these parts to ride soft and comfortable on the road, last many years and not worry about breaking anything off road. What do you think about my choice?

[@mrautomatech2329]

ReNegaDe-SpitFire So how did this end up riding?

[@LTrammell03]

Would you recommend a zone off-road lift kit off of eBay

[@BasicallyAK]

Thx for the vid👌🏽 But i need a 2.5 to 3 inch kit. What should i get?

[@aarons2613]

ak 69420 add a leaf kits from zone

[@jerrodcorey25]

Cherokee Ronnie with a thumbnail from Davis Auto Group Jeep build LOL

[@gavinfrost3131]

I bought Rusty’s 3 inch lift leaf packs and heavy duty coils and the ride to quality is about the same and small bumps aren’t really there any more

[@mosier715]

I just installed a full 3.5” Rancho lift kit for my 2000 xj with the Chrysler rear end. After the lift has been installed it no longer sags but I’m getting horrible vibrations from 15 mph to around 50mph. I’m assuming it’s DS issues but figured I’d ask if that is too much lift for my Jeep. Running 31x10.5x15 tires.

[@cherokeeronnie]

Yeah prolly need to drop transfer case

[@jeffvanderkraan674]

Dude... You got guts... fuck em all fuckin no regrets! Excellent Video thank's!

[@papablista627]

ZONE is da chit.

[@nano4less]

Hey I'm really struggling to pick a lift between bds 4.5 long arm and iron rock long arm kit front and back. Any advice? Thanks

[@davidelvin3870]

Iron rock all the way especially with the rear coil over conversion

[@Christophermedynski]

I put a Rubicon express 4.5 on my XJ with the better shock package i have no sway bar and i haven't wheeled it yet is it a good lift?? Tia

[@cherokeeronnie]

Yes should do great

[@Stephen-carr]

My zone lift didn't last 6 months. Now i jave rusty and ruff country and 3 years later its lost about 1/2 inch

[@sebasianluevanos-ocampo7200]

What about a rough country long arm kit

[@Lray4x4]

Zone is made by BDS, Rubicon Express products are also very good. Rusty's makes good lifts as well but the shipping cost is ridiculous.

[@cherokeeronnie]

Yeah that’s what turn me away was the shipping Cost

[@Christophermedynski]

Thanks Ronnie....

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

I'm thinking about Rustys 3 inch spring pack lift with shocks...??

[@mrautomatech2329]

V8AmericanMuscleCar Did u ever get this? Thinking of that lift as well.

[@johntodys]

I installed a 4.5” Clayton’s Long Arm Kit. Haven’t seen many reviews. What y’all think??

[@pvmwarchief]

i wouldnt be happy with a 4.5inch on a jeep zj or zj cant really fit 35s and up

[@pvmwarchief]

im saving for a 7inch iron rock offroad premium lift for the 37s i got dana 60 rear

[@jacksonpruzan8579]

rubicon express

[@David-rj1ru]

@Cherokee Ronnie Hey ronnie i have a Chrysler 8.25 in the back of my 1999 and a dana 30 in the front i believe the factory gear ratio is 3.55 Rear Axle Ratio. i wanna go up to 33s when i do my lift. do you think i will need to re gear my axle to maintain daily driving performance? and how tall a kit should i do? so mush to consider.

[@JoseGarcia-tr2ck]

have you ever heat and stretch springs

[@cherokeeronnie]

I’ve heard of old timers doing it but I haven’t

[@aarons2613]

Hey I just got a 95 xj and I don’t have a huge budget but I need reliability

[@pvmwarchief]

iron rock offroad

[@pvmwarchief]

or zone offroad cheaper good high quality to but only up to 4inch short arm for grand c

[@zweasel]

Iron Rock long arm! End of story

[@FrontlineArsenal]

I want a springy suspension that can handle small jumps, I was looking into old man emu

[@40Spec]

Please excuse my ignorance. What is an S-10 pack? Or an S-10 leaf spring? Are we talking aftermarket stuff, or Chevy s-10 or something else?

[@cherokeeronnie]

Chevy s 10

[@micmic9410]

Rough Country- I agree 👎🏽

[@skatetheworld-zh3pp]

I wanna buy a kit from iron rock offroad

[@duramax_power6.6]

skatetheworld 1314 buy the rock link you won’t regret it

[@thecherokeechannel688]

i got an IRO set o front springs to replace me Rubicon Express springs. there was nothing wrong with my RE springs just wanted more lift. both of these are great springs. recommend.

[@thomasjeepxj1331]

Can you help me diagnose my xj issue? Sputters and stalls when given throttle really bad when in gear but seems ok during park or neutral did a full tune up replaced the IAC and fuel filter

[@kristophermathis8584]

Man I'm having the same issue right now. I've done a complete tune up, replaced the iac and the tps. Bought a fuel pressure tester...it's good. I'm buying a Compression tester tomorrow. I hope it's not blow by.

[@thomasjeepxj1331]

@@kristophermathis8584 just ordered a CPS hopefully that's it no codes show up

[@kristophermathis8584]

Hopefully...I replaced cps last year.

[@1598hi]

I had this issue a few years ago. A relative drove it over a fallen tree on the highway on accident. I literally had to keep on the gas even when stopped. Turned out to be that working harness for the fuel pump. I'd check that for damage and clean the connector. Also make sure your iac is set properly. Early model jeeps had ones that were adjustable. Ho jeeps have ones that dont adjust so its just plug and play

[@andrewwinchel4659]

I had similar issue, especially when going up hill. It was the catalytic converter. The insides broke brown and shifted, blocking the flow. I changed the fuel filter, O2, and Map. Now I have extras I guess.

[@timkershaw2874]

Ware can I find a body lift for a Cherokee

[@cherokeeronnie]

No such thing as a body lift?

[@Halfstep2024]

Why not? I’m new to the xj life but why in the world can you not body lift a xj

[@timkershaw2874]

It's a unique body I'm told I still haven't looked I bought it 3 weeks ago and still haven't done anything with it

[@mitchhodge592]

Unibody means the frame is basically molded to the body. You’re not putting a shell on a frame and bolting it together. That is when you can space the body from the frame.
