I just installed a 4.5 RC lift on my 2000 XJ, I did my research and bought the Shankly spring compressor tool, I never once felt uncomfortable using it, solid construction, ball bearings on the bolts, completely safe, they worked great. and heck the tool was only 70 bucks off Amazon, I would highly recommend it.

[@banzaiib]

auto zone and some other parts store will loan them.. you pay a deposit and get it back when done. Did that when i lifted my ranger

[@monstermaes9610]

Thanks for the awesome videos Ronnie. I constantly look back to your videos for info.

[@michaelabsher8341]

There is a wrecked Jeep XJ on my property, maybe I should pull it out and see what sort of shape its in? Nah, probably tweeked the frame too much. PR wrecked in years ago off the highway. Nice video, made me miss mine from years ago.

[@dealinwithit1]

Did you need longer front driveshaft

[@rick850angler6]

Nice looks good man..and nice to c some Cherokee content 🇺🇸🦅👍🤘🏽👊

[@ifitsnotbrokenfixit1193]

Turned out great Ronnie

[@starliteaquatics7308]

Would you come to Maryland Carroll County and help me lift my 99 limited ? Fighting stage 4 glioblastoma brain cancer and I want a proper lift I have as of now 2 inch lift pucks and shackles

[@elijahclough7413]

Chevy 1500 2wd front brake lines That's what I have on my Cherokee with a 6 and a 1/2 inch long arm kit

[@builtjeepwj6345]

[@CaptinCorupt]

[@Cheshire668]

What year s10 leaf springs?

[@colt45d]

speaking of lockers id love to put one in the front of my 01 xj. Ive looked at the aussie and sparten, have you had any road time with one of them? Id like to retain my hwy drivability. thanks

[@cherokeeronnie]

Yup I’ve had both locked with Spartans for a couple years never really knew they were their the back would ratchet on black top turning sharp sometimes
the last build I did had only the front and I definitely didn’t know it was their

[@colt45d]

Awesome thanks for the info. Sounds like I’ll be adding them to the shopping cart.

[@Lray4x4]

I have had Spartan lockers in both axles of my XJ on 35s for a few years, works great on and off road and they have never given me any issues.

[@jacobschwenk4050]

How did you get it so you’re Springs didn’t work bent

[@maksimslobodkin8296]

What did u have to do to the rear of it?

[@scottbrown3674]

What model S10 were the rear leafs off of?

[@starliteaquatics7308]

Well hell that's pretty bad ass .. I need to lift my rig got plans for a pair of 33s .. your from West Virginia ain't cha ? I'm from Maryland might have to hook up and get your help lift her up and put a cherokee Ronster sticker on her 😉🤘🏻haha stay muddy my friend

[@justinkratky1083]

Your spring are bowed hard you need longer lower and upper control arms the lowers you got are still too short I think jk control arms might work better you might have to use some misalignment spacers

[@cherokeeronnie]

Go watch the final build a lot has changed

[@JeremyWayne0544]

Link to lower control arms please

[@jamesthehandyman]

Great video!

[@framerandy77]

Those transfer case drops will just ruin your motor mounts. You'll change motor mounts as often you change oil.

[@cherokeeronnie]

I ran them for 4 years with brown dog mounts had not one problem

[@mitchdodd9732]

What about sye kit

[@cherokeeronnie]

[@cherokeeronnie]

If you watch the rest of the videos on the channel you can watch the whole build

[@framerandy77]

I need a Tetanus shot just looking at those parts.

[@cherokeeronnie]

[@Zach-xl5rs]
