Yeah, that's basically what I am going to be setting my latest ZJ I just bought up for. I've had a 3" spacer lift (same as the first one I ever owned), and also a set of extended shock's to go with the lift. Running some p gauge wire to a second battery in the back for both the slamming stereo system as well as for the inverter I have sitting just waiting to be installed. I'm making it so I can just stick the 1 or 2 subwoofer boxes in the front passenger seat when I need to fold the back seats down to sleep in it, and then I just need some more extraction gear, a hi-lift Jack and an extra tow strap aside from my tools, few spare parts, extra water, oil, gear lube and so on. I'm hoping that I'm off to a good start.. Any cheap, but necessary other things please feel free to give me some ideas please!

**but I'm not a fan of going too big with my tires on these zj GC's. I liked the 30x9.5r15 A/T tires I had on my first one with the little 3in budget lift, and I loved the 245/75r16 aggressive All Terrains I bought new for my last ZJ which was a '98 5.9, that would have been PERFECT with the 3inch budget boost and those tires-- well, and a 242 transfer case as well!!

That's awesome, I appreciate you watching! Glad to help a fellow ZJ owner out!

Fabricio Guerrero oh wow. I didn’t know you could put a v8 in a ‘94 Cherokee

Logan Bradley sorry it's actually a 96

I have a 95 with a v8

Thanks for watching! I have a Trailmaster 3.5" lift kit with 31s.

With a couple years in, how do you feel about this loft kit?

That's awesome. Best of luck with the build -- it's a lot of fun!

I got them online from Quadratec. The specific model name is 'Black Rock Series 941 Dune', but they have several other nice styles.

Sorry meant to say tall coils not talk coil

Front drive shaft -- no, but on the rear drive shaft I ended up having it re-done just to be on the safe side. When I got my jeep, the rear drive shaft was shorter than normal (not sure why) so once it was lifted it needed to be longer. Stock driveshafts may be fine.

Definitely! I've had the Coopers for 2 years now. They still have plenty of tread left and are a good mix of traction and grip off-road and quiet and smooth on-road.

I measured them when we did the lift and I believe they were 28s or 29s. I believe the ZJs came with a few different stock tire sizes based on the different models, but I'm not positive.

Certainly! You can lift any vehicle. If you were to take it off-road, you'd find better clearance would help out a lot even if you only have 2WD.

Yes ill upload pics of my old one on 4.5 lift and 31s

And did they rub?

3.5" Lift has the zj

The 31s rubbed (while turning) even after the 3.5" lift so trimming the fender was necessary. I don't think there is a way to fit 31s at the stock ride height without serious cutting.

This is a Trailmaster 3.5" lift. I believe the kit was between $400-500 which is a pretty fair price.

They were changed in Part 2.

I have custom halos on mine planning on doing the lift next

Yeah good ole 318

The lift was about $450, tires were about $160/tire, wheels were $150/wheel so about $1600 worth of modifications in this video on top of the $2100 we paid for the Jeep.

David Craft I did very similar to this, but I went with 3.5" trailmaster lift, which looks the same as this, but cheap aluminum 16x8 wheels, LT265/75R16 (31.5x10.5 on a 16inch wheel) and after a lot of shopping around, and a good deal on 4 new wheels and all terrain tires the costs were: 800 for the jeep, 500 for the lift plus track bar, and 800 for the wheels and tires bought together.

gotta start somewhere, plus you have the almighty internet. :D

You can honestly find so many resources online. Plus a buddy with tools and a garage is helpful too!
