Built for Cherokee XJ owners who want aggressive style and serious trail capability — this 6.5-inch X-Series lift kit raises your 84–01 XJ with confidence, clearing 35–37 inch tires and delivering the geometry corrections needed to keep your suspension responsive after the lift. You get adjustable control arms, a forged track bar, disconnecting sway bar links, and nitrogen-charged N3 shocks in one complete package.

What's included
- 6.5-inch lifted coil springs (front) — engineered to support the added weight and height while maintaining ride quality on road and trail.
- 4-inch lifted leaf springs (rear, qty 2) — complementary rear lift that preserves load capacity and handles payload without bottoming out.
- X-Flex adjustable upper and lower control arms — forged steel with Clevite OEM-style rubber bushings, 2.5-inch bodies, and greasable joints that pivot 20 degrees (upper) and 35 degrees (lower) for maximum articulation and flex.
- Forged adjustable track bar — corrects caster and keeps your suspension aligned after the lift; solid steel construction for precision and durability.
- Transfer case drop kit — re-indexes the transfer case to restore proper driveline angles and reduce vibration.
- Quick-disconnect sway bar links — removes sway bar in seconds for off-road flex, then locks it back down for on-road control.
- N3 nitrogen-charged shock absorbers — 10-stage variable valving, 54mm fast-cooling body, and 18mm piston rods deliver exceptional dampening and handling on rough terrain.
- Stainless steel brake line brackets and hardware — complete braking system relocation and all fasteners needed for a clean, functional install.
Important notes
- A slip yoke eliminator with CV driveshaft is highly recommended to eliminate driveline vibration after the lift.
- Running 35-inch tires will require minor fender trimming to clear; 33-inch tires fit without modification.
