I have been looking for a 3 in lift for my 95 GCL V8 for a while now doing a lot of research on 3 in spring lift, BB lift and F>R lifts. I cant seem to find what I'm looking for. I don't off road much but i want a higher stance with out doing a lot of mods to the suspension while also keeping the price down.

FYI I'm already runnin 31s on it without a lift and not that much rub.

I know this has already been answered but I'm still confused on what to do.
So my question is witch is the better buy 3" Spring Lift, Spacer Lift, or Front to Rear Lift. Also what brand and other parts are needed?

I also have a Salvage yard near buy where I could get parts for a F>R lift but I have no idea what kind of springs would fit and give me a good ride.
And I was lookin into the 3" Fat Bobs but I've heard mixed reviews.

Thanks

Thanks for the help guys. I am going to have to wait for my lift cause im going into college withouta gob so its gona take a while to save up. I did a bunch more research and long arms dont sound like the choice for me cause its too invasive on the vehicle cause im trying to keep it so if i want i can go back to stock easily. I think what im going to do is either the Rough Country 4" adjustable short arm lift witch seems like you can add on to it down the line. Or the Rough Country 3.5" lift without adjustable control arms and just save and get new adjustable arms down the road.

I would like the Rubicon Express 3.5" lift But does anyone know why it dosent come with shocks??

Also a new ? that involves lifting. I heard that if you go higher than 3.5 you'll need a new drive line or transfer case drop is this true??

Thanks

Thanks again guys. Once again I did a lot more research and figured this is a pretty cheep and good lift to add onto in the future someday.

I decided on a IRO 3.5 Foundation Lift. I can then add nitro shocks cause there cheap and the rear springs that come with the kit if it makes a difference.Id do the F>R swap deal if I dont get the rear springs. I will get a front TB drop with the kit right away to fix that problem rather then suffer. Also the first thing on the wish list after the lift will be rear adjustable lower control arms or should i get both front or rear?

Thanks for the replies guys but Im not cutting my jeep to bits then spending 400 some bucks to fit bigger tires without a lift when id rather spend 400 on a good lift and have my fenders in tact. And there's no way in he'll that my dad would let me CUT into my jeep.

So that being said I am going with a IRO 3.5" foundation lift with a droped TB bracket and then hit the junk yard for some lower control arms that will fit the lift but that's only if my dad docent want to just get control arms.

How dose that lift sound please I need the expert advice on this or I can't convince my dad to help me out on the cost lol..
Thanks

I don't really like long arm kits too pricey and I dont like the ride I'd rather have a rougher ride even tho it's a DD.

Are adjustible TB a must or are the TB drop Brackets ok cause I won't be off roaring much.

Nope long arms just rant my style they just look and ride funny
Don't get me wrong they are good lifts but short arm lifts r what I'm looking for

 

[95cherokeekid]

Ok look I'm not trying to shoot anyone down or say there advise is bad and im not sayin short arms are better then long arms all I'm askin is is the IRO 3.5" foundation lift with a tb drop good because it is a DD and I'm not gona spend a cupple thow for a long arm lift and not use it cause I don't off road that much. All I want is a lil lift to fit my 31s and take it to college in the wv mountains and have a lil fun on weekends and I'm tryin to keep it cheaper so if something breaks nbd il just get a new part.

Ok let's start over.

I'm going to college no job and I want a lift... No cutting grinding drilling welding nuthin like that

So right away there goes fender flare LIFT and long arms. So that leaves me cheap spring spacer+new shocks or the IRO 3.5" foundation f>r lift cause it's in my price range and I can add a lot to it.

So the expert opinions I'm looking for is on the IRO lift and what is needed to keep that lift safe from death wobble or other problems such as tire rub and stuff.

Thank you
