Built for Cherokee XJ owners who want maximum articulation and aggressive ground clearance without sacrificing driveline geometry, this 4.5-inch long-arm suspension kit relocates your front control arms to maintain optimum alignment angles while delivering extreme flex for serious off-road terrain. You'll gain up to 35 degrees of articulation at the lower control arm joints—ideal for rock crawling and uneven trails—while keeping your suspension geometry dialed in.

Important notes
- This kit fits only vehicles with the NP242 transfer case. Verify your transfer case before purchase.
- Does not fit 2.8L V-6 or diesel engines due to motor-weight variances that affect suspension load-bearing and geometry.
- Incompatible with the AX5 transmission.
- Does not fit 1987–1989 models equipped with Peugeot manual transmissions.
- If you choose to run 33-inch tires (the lower end of the 33–35 inch recommended range), fender trimming is required for proper tire clearance.
