4.5” lift in the back so far, with 1” shackles which I might swap out for oem. Maybe it’ll level out when I get the front lifted. They are a 31 or 32
Oh and the rear shocks are to short [emoji58]

I’m thinking 3 to 3.5 would be perfect... this is a shitty pic but the red & silver jeeps up front are 3-3.5” with 31-32” tires & trimming ... and the red jeep in the back is 4-4.5” with 35’s.

37s is the plan. I might end up also going with a Dana 50 and 10.5 out of a f250. Kinda an oddball In a way but cheap and should work out fine for what I am doing. 500 for axles isn’t bad.

FYI - There are some scratch and dent JCR sliders on eBay for a Cherokee right now. Might be able to get a deal.

Looks much better now that it is leveled out.

Swapped the front bump stops...I know soooooooo exciting right ?
Prolly should have gotten extended ones, oh well
Then started working on the floor pans, which decided to fight back
Got them ready to weld (no pics cuz it’s lots of small holes) so I threw on this gem which I got at tractor supply the other day.
Also, not really sure how to fix this one yet. I went to install the rear bump stops, and surprisingly one of the bolts snapped right away as I tried to remove it. I should have known better and heated it up...but of course I didnt. Might be able to weld in a nut or something but not sure yet.

More floor pan fitting and sanding, got it where I want it.
Tomorrow I’ll grab the weld through primer, and then I can weld it in. Also going to get an internal frame coating can.
Easy to get to the upper control arm bolts

Got some fancy paint, it stinks.
Kinda feel it’s pointless, but figure why not try and stop future rust.

Nothing like having to redo a lot of work, wasn’t happy with how the welding was going so I cut the pan back out. Hardly had any penetration anyway which pissed me off.

At least you are trying to do it right, unlike a lot of people that work on older vehicles.

Worked on the driver side over the weekend, actually got a lot done. Fitment was much better.
Only a little trimming which I should have done on the passenger side, but then I found more rust.
Welded in and seam sealer. I’ll work on the very front once it warms up and I have more room outside.
