4.5'' Cherokee lift.

[hemiben04]

Hi guys I have recently brought a 1993 Cherokee with a 4.5'' lift and it still has standard drive shafts, not sure if this will cause me any issues down the track or not has anyone had any problems ?

it may well have a tc drop thats why ya can still run stock drive shafts..

Thank you for the advice Yeti.
I was hoping to get away without dropping the TC case....
As it is - those TC cases hang pretty low on the Cherokees anyway.

kaney put one in his xj when he put his 4.5 in ...took it back out ..was sweet as..

think its about a 1inch drop.........plenty of clearance when running 33s ya wont get caught up on ya tc

Thanks jean mi.
Unfortunately I am stuck in Akl - so wont be able to pop over for a look.
Great to know that a tc drop is good enough.

Thanks Yeti
I will try mine without the TC drop - and if it looks marginal - then sacrifice the 1 inch or so...

Busy cutting my fenders at the moment

No worry's... I cut my fender at the back and front ....i did cut too much in the back , i had to weld the metal sheet together

Brother your Cherokee looks mean I like it, tried to post a pic of mine and failed, have you changed the diff ratio for the 33"s ?

my mate brought that kit, driveshafts were good, had steering issues but was sold with drop down brackets for the front arms
