4.5 Inch Lift Kit | Long Arm | Rr Aal | Np231 | M1 | Jeep Cherokee Xj (84-01)

Built for Cherokee XJ owners who want maximum articulation and trail-proven geometry, this 4.5-inch long-arm lift kit relocates the front control arms to maintain optimum alignment angles while delivering superior off-road performance. You get increased ground clearance, fully greasable X-Flex control arms with 20-degree upper and 35-degree lower joint flex, and the driveline geometry correction that long-arm kits are known for — all with your choice of shock and spring options.

Installed and serviced at Road Runner Wheels & Tires. Most lift kits go in the same day. Call (678) 400-6467 to schedule.

What's included

• 4.5-inch coils — precision-engineered front coil springs matched to your XJ's suspension geometry for correct ride height and load handling.
• Long-arm control arms with X-Flex bushings — forged high-clearance lower arms and extreme-travel upper arms with Clevite OEM-style rubber bushings, oversized 2.5-inch flex joints with 1.25-inch threads, and full greasability for years of field maintenance.
• Forged heavy-duty track bar — maintains front-end alignment precision across the full range of suspension travel, essential after a 4.5-inch lift.
• Rear add-a-leaf spring kit — lifts the rear and restores load capacity without requiring a full leaf-pack swap.
• M1 monotube shock pair (front and rear) — 10-stage variable valving, high-pressure nitrogen charge, 18mm spring-loaded piston rods, and oversized bodies for heat dissipation and consistent damping.
• Quick-disconnect sway bar links — bolt off for maximum articulation on technical terrain, then quickly reattach for street driving.

Important notes

• Kit requires NP231 transfer case. Does NOT fit 2.8L V-6 or diesel engines due to motor-weight variance.
• Incompatible with AX5 transmission.
• Does NOT fit 1987–1989 models equipped with Peugeot manual transmissions.
• Tire clearance: 33.0–35.0 inches. If running 33-inch tires, fender trimming is required.
