Getting high, it’s now an addiction!

Finally got my lift kit installed on the ’93 Cherokee. Apparently, the previous owner had put a budget lift with 2″ spring spacers up front and 2″ shackles on the back. I decided to keep these in addition to the Rusty’s 3″ lift kit; I gained a total of 5.25″ up front and 5″ at the rear!

The stock tires looked really dinky, so I found a set of used 31″ tires at Craigslist for $250 and five new D-windows black rims from Summit racing at $47 a wheel (shipped). What a difference on how she looks!

I think this list will never end – photography is on the back seat for now. Time to find some rocks and dirt to try this “grocery getter” on.
