With my ad1 do I have to use the hazard sky lit for it (the $43 one) or can I go with the standard one (the more expensive one) with the wheel centering rings? I was gonna go with the rough country lift but it's more expensive and not that much more of a lift. I can still run 245/70/17s on some 17x8 with +35 offset too, right?

Anyone know if you can use different shocks on the dobinsons lift?. I have 255/55/18 ko2s on my ad1 but im getting trouble with getting the alignment in spec. Are the tires the issue or is it something. And with this being a problem, should i still consider getting a lift?

With that ROUGH COUNTRY "Leveling kit";
Is it just mean to take 1" of rake out of the stance and lift the whole vehicle by 1" in total?
I'm wondering if it provides the same overall amount of lift/clearance as all the other spacer kits.

The collars in it look much more attractive than bolts driven into billet aluminum. Actual Grade 8 bolts holding the collars together seems a much sturdier design. I think I'd rather opt for that style lift if the rear spacers really DID add the 2" of overall lift like the other kits.

Makes you wonder.... their site description is SO VAGUE

Iv'e been looking around the forum and have seen lots upon even more threads about different lift kits and haven't found the thread with a list of every kit available in one place, so that's what this thread is for. This is a non-biased list since I don't even own a Cherokee anymore/yet (plan to get a 2019/2020 TH later this year.)

All prices are listed in USD for easy comparison and are the prices from the official sites.

There doesn't appear to be a "superior" lift, as far as product quality or reliability.

I haven't read about anyone have failures or problems with any of the above lifts.

Its mostly down to how much you want to spend, how much you want to lift, and how much you want to alter your suspension.

And how often you want to replace other suspension, steering and power train components such as:
* CV boots
* ball joints
* front and rear LCAs
* hub bearings
* outer tie rods
* 4x4 alignments

Points to consider while you are drooling about bigger offsets ...
* ball joint angles
* LCA rear bushing angles
* strut buckling
* hub bearing stress
* outer tie rod angles

Here are the axle dimensions (major dia, minor dia, length):

Front Inner CV Boot: 3.71”, 1.21” 4.5”
Front Outer CV Boot: 4.02”, 1.93”, 4.5”
Rear Inner CV Boot: 3.67”, 1.17”, 5.0”
Rear Outer CV Boot: 3.67”, 1.17”, 3.5”

It appears that the front and rear inner boot dimensions are very close and may be interchangeable.

What is the difference between the rubber in the truck boots and UHV boots? Most car and truck boots appear to have an asymmetric fin design? The UHV boots look like they have a better symmetric fin design and bigger valley width for high angle travel/flex.

Maybe a silly question, but does adding a lift kit have any effect on towing performance? I tow a trailer with my SxS on it (~2k lbs. total) and don't want to affect that ability. I see many other people tow various trailers with their Cherokees, too.

I'm not seriously considering a lift, I use the SxS for the gnarly off-road fun, but thought this was a good question for others as well. ;)

Hey y'all - new to site
@Bthomasfire - did you install the kit? Pictures?
@AGP - which kit did you go with? Pictures? Issues?

I'm looking at hoisting my '17 TrackHawk - 245s for now, 255s when these wear out. 3"^ with 1.5 spacers. Thoughts everyone?
