Body Lifts

[Tenacious_T]

Where can i get a good cheap body lift kit for my '93 jeep cherokee? And also, is a body lift worse than a suspension lift?

[Tenacious_T]

Now im wondering, is it even possible to get a body lift on a 93 cherokee?

Cherokees are UNIBODY meaning the body and frame are one piece. Therfore the only way to lift a cherokee is by using a suspension lift

Which is of course about 5 times as expensive

How about a shackle lift? tug

[Tenacious_T]

Can anyone give me a website with some good cheap ones? I'm on a highschool no job budget . And im not going to be doing any serious offroading.

This is about as cheap as your gonna find. Some people have used these in the past, and most have loved them.

Not possible for body lift on unibody frames. You can get a kit from daystar for a quick 2" to fit 31" tires. The kit is a 2" poly coil spacer and a 1 3/4" rear shackle.

Daystar, rubiconexpress.com, rustysoffroad.com, the kit is normally about $92 i know from daystar and that's with shipping included.

the problem with getting spacers and shackels(i have been researching a cheap lift for my 95 XJ) is that spacers make your steering less precise and more sorta mushy. Larger shackles(the kind that lift your rear) can break if you hit an obstacle at the wrong angle while offroading. If this happens then ur in some deep ****.. I actually found a 3 inch rusty lift with 4 front hydro shocks, 2 new front coils, rear add-a-leaf, and brake line extensions... the whole kit costs about 250 bucks plus maybe 50 for shipping(you could probably bargain out some free shipping). and as for installation, a little lift kit like that is easy to do with a buddy in one long afternoon.
good luck

go with this

	Transfer Case Mounted behind and driven by the vehicle transmission, the transfer case transmits power to the front and rear driveshafts in 4WD Jeep vehicles and offers high and low range.

	Coil Springs A coil of flexible metal that can be compressed or stretched along its centerline axis without permanent deformation. Coil springs support the weight of the vehicle while allowing the wheels to travel up and down over bumps.

	Track bar A track bar is a component of a car suspension system that provides lateral location of the axle. While the purpose of the rear suspension of an automobile is to allow the wheels to move vertically with respect to the body, it is undesirable to allow them to move forward and backwards, or from side to side. It is this latter movement that the track bar is designed to prevent. It is a simple device, consisting of a rigid bar running sideways in the same plane as the rear axle, connecting one end of the axle to the car body or chassis on the opposite side of the vehicle. The bar is attached on either end with pivots that permit it to swivel upwards and downwards only, so that the axle is, in turn, allowed to move in the vertical plane only.
