We need more info

 

Not sure if I should save OP from ridicule or not.....

 

Unless you plan on cutting out the frame rails and fabricating a frame I think you're going to be pretty disappointed.

 

Yes, The XJ is a "uni-frame" vehicle. The frame rails are welded to the floor which makes body lifts rather difficult.

 

Mine looks pretty good.

 

I would suggest that we make a sticky in the cherokee section which solely states that you can't do a body lift on an xj, but obviously the people that post this stuff don't search anyway so I guess it's pointless...

 

I finished mine up last week. 3" body lift. Love it, makes cleaning the top of my frame rails real easy for cruising around the mall. Also improved my offroad ability, self esteem, and credit score. No complaints here.

 

Credit score. :rofl:

When I saw the title of this post, my first thought was "How harsh would the replies be ?" My second thought was:hahaha: "I hope Motorcharge has seen it." I was impressed with the outcome of both. :2thumbsup:

What are you trying to say...

If anything I think I get overly excited when I see these threads hoping someone with some fab skill has come along. :laugh:

lol. Thanks for the feed back. Looks like I won't do it then. I'm probably just gonna go with a 3'' suspension lift. Only thing is I have air bags because my leaf springs are getting flat. Should I replace my leaf springs if im planning on putting on a suspension lift? Thanks

 

Am i the only one wondering where he managed to find a body lift for a Cherokee...?

 

It is probably for an SJ (pre-84) Cherokee, those were basically 2-door Wagoneers and were body on frame.

Here are some examples of this:

3 Inch Body Lift for 1975-82 Jeep Full Size Cherokee and Wagoneer SJ With 10 Mounts

Performance Accessories 3" Body Lift Kit

 

I want to see a picture of your Jeep with the flat leaf springs and air bags. Your profile says you have a 98 XJ, is this the Jeep you wanted to do the 3" lift on? Who did the air bags? Why would you pay for air bags instead of replacing the leaf packs? Are you the mall ninja?

 

lol knob

 

Yup. the 98 xj is the one I want to put the lift on. I just recently bought it off a mechanic. He said the leaf springs were getting flat so he put the airbags on because he had a set he got for free. ill post some pics tomorrow

 

Since your springs are shot you are going to need a brand new lea pack. Skip the add a leaf to save time and money.

 

All the info you need is in the FAQ section , And LIFT AND TIRE QUESTION THREAD !
