4.5 Inch Lift Kit | Long Arm | Rr Leafs | Np242 | V2 | Jeep Cherokee Xj (84-01)

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.

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

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.
