The way the Cherokee XJ conquers those trails is nothing short of inspiring. Long live the offroad king!
I just installed this with the full leaf springs and my rear brake line from the body to the axle is almost taught when on the ground and stretched nearly to its braking point when jacked up. I recommend getting an extended brake line. This should be included with the kit.
Thank you. Good to know.
Yeah I just did mine, and I was thinking the exact same thing
It would only go that smooth in a perfect world....lol....
Here in Canada: "Remove sway bar links. Snap bolt. Swear. Go to junkyard to find replacement bolts and get other back up pieces that will snap. Move to rear. Break shock bolts. Swear. Get inside rear panels to remove top bung holding remaining broken bolt pieces. Replace all other rusted pieces that broke while removing."
I love that feeling when I immediately finish watching a UA-cam video and I feel so confident that whatever I'm about to do will be such a breeze!! Then 8 hours, $250 in unexpected costs, 3 thrown tools, at least a handful of misplaced removed hardware, and a newly developed migraine later, I end up having to call in one of my expert mechanic friends to help.....and all I get to do is hold the flashlight.
@@williamsba1202 dude that's hilarious I feel that so hard
Went damn well smooth for me with a 99 that was on the coast of Maine for its entire life even with the rust build up 3-4 hours max it was done
This only comes from building many jeeps myself you can tell in this video the actual inexperience of rough country due to putting the torx on the outside of the sway bar mount because it does nothing it’s pressed in the nut just comes off keep it up guys you’ll get it one day
I wish my install went that smoothly! And for some reason I still fear creaking in the rear..
Was everything properly torqued and no worn out bushings?
@@RoughCountryTV only worn bushing was the shackle which I'll be replacing with a adjustable one soon
I am trying to install this kit right now, just the way you showed but the front axle is twisting. The passenger is twisting towards the rear of the vehicle and the driver's side is shifting forwards towards the front. I got the passenger control arm in but the driver's side isn't. Why is this happening?
If you’re doing the lift yourself, use a ratchet strap to help move the axle into the right position.
@@SirSeksAlot thank you! It worked. Took a lot of massaging, but I got it in.
No mention of brake lines having to be longer
Do I need bump stops for this kit? Running 31 tires. And should I get a stabilizer too? And extended brake lines? And anything else that would be recommended?
Does it come with shims to adjust the pinion angle?
Just bought one, that's the rules after installing what should be done to ensure safety?
Do you have to have the peice you drilled a hole in? My bar won't line up after installing the front, my kit didn't have the peice you drilled out. Thanks
ODD.... Mine sits 3/4'' lower in the front then the rear even with a full tank.
21.25" on the front and 20.25" on the rear is what you should be sitting at from center of the wheel at the center cap to the fender.
I was thinking of adding 3" lift with longer springs in front and adding a leaf in the back. Would I need extra long parts?

This is the recommended kit you would need to achieve the 3' lift
No spring compressor necessary? springs not going to launch out into my garage wall when i unbolt them? lol
No you just simply lower the axle then install the spring then seat them properly into the coil bucket.
did you install wheel spacers on this build? if so, what size 1.5" ?
Beautiful red, anyone knows what paint code is that?
What kit is this that comes with whole spring packs? All the ones I see are add a leafs you do yourself
I am about to install this kit on my 2000 Cherokee. Do I need to get a front end alignment afterwards? Thanks
Alignment is required after installation.
Hello, I am interested in buying that suspension but I would like to know the dimensions of the boxes or the box if it is only one to see if it enters through the door of my mailbox and not have problems with dimensions, can you help me with that detail
I just ordered it and it comes in several boxes, five or 6, and the leaf springs ship unwrapped, just the leafs springs themselves no packaging, they're pretty good size boxes I can't imagine them fitting in a mailbox
Can you tell me the exact size of those tires in the video? I know you mentioned 31's, but I assume it's some variant of the 200-300/75/r16 sizing nomenclature
MichaelB277 265/75/16s
The wheels on that XJ are 15x7s. They installed 31x10.50r15s on them.
@@BetterDegree7 did u mean “r15”
Does the 3 inch lift come with new leafs with the $300 kit?
Run away from any 3" lift that does not provide a way to lower the transfer case too.
Yes unless you're installing this on a 2wd
What tire size is that?
Do I need to extend my brake lines
Not on this kit you do not. No.
I have this lift and one of the bolts on my rear shocks came loose and broke because of previous owners but do I need to order special shocks for it or can I order regular ones from an auto parts store?
You would need to get shocks that are designed for 3" of lift to make sure the shock has enough travel.
Will this lift kit pass mass inspection?
Yes this particular kit will pass inspection as will most all of our kits depending on the state you live in and the lift laws for your state.
Do I need a lift or can I do this with the vehicle on jackstands?
Don’t know if you already got the kit, but you *can* do it on jackstands but it’s way easier to do it on a lift
How much you think is the cost $$ for all of this 3”
$669.95 for the kit and labor rates will vary depending on which shop you use. You would just have call shops in your area for labor cost.

@@RoughCountryTV what size wheel/tire are on the model vehicle in this vid?
@@atombom8214 those are stock xj wheels(15x7) and 31x10.50r15
What size tires are you running?
Recommended Tire Size 31x10.50
Recommended Wheel Backspacing 3.75"
@@RoughCountryTV ok thank you. I'm hoping to get a xj as a first car and can't decide on what size lift and tires I want. I'm kinda leaning 33s and a 4.5" but the Jeep has the dreaded dana 30 so that's the limiting factor rn Should I buy it.
Aidan MaK don’t worry about the front diff, you can easily run 33s on stock differentials. Especially if your xj has the 8.25 rear axle.
@@Leo-lr4eq Thanks! I believe I miss typed and I ment dana 35 btw.
Do you need to use wheel spacers if you keep the stock wheels?
No wheel spacers needed for the install of this kit to run stock wheels
@@RoughCountryTV what tire setup do you have in this video?
@@RoughCountryTV can you run wheel spacers anyways?
I had problems with the head of the bolts for the swaybar drop brackets rubbing on my tires when running factory wheels.
OME
This is not a 3” lift...
Can I use this for a 4x2?
Yes this kit is compatible with the 2WD option.
