The way the Cherokee XJ handles those challenging terrains is a testament to its engineering. Jeep heritage at its finest.
This is the best video yet, I was debating on a 4.5 or 6.5 long arm but I think I might just go with the 4.5!
I played without sound, listen to the first record of Miles Davis, if this car it's an American original, Miles will be a perfect companion to drive it. The video it's impressive, what a wonderful job you did there guys, just beautiful. I own a 2000 xj, I'm in love with it, it's like a toy, but real.
I was not expecting this video to be this good. I'll be doing this to my XJ soon. Welp, I subbed...plus youre almost to 6k subscribers. Keep it up!
Thank you!
how are rough country lifts compared to skyjacker, fabtech, bds, etc. I'm planning on getting one on a silverado 2500. Is it worth the money if i do very minimal off road, mainly going to hunting camp stuff nothing to serious, or should i opt out get get the higher option kits? Also how is the ride quality compared to other kits on trucks?
One good flex on the back end and those fender flares are gone
It's good to see the D35 is holding up
This Jeep has an 8.25 rear axle and Dana 30 front. No Dana 35 here thankfully.
So beautiful
Great stuff :)
Any angle needed on rear axle to make drive line angle same as axle?
Random question, what song is this?
Anybody know those leaf springs are progressive or not?
Whats the backside spacing on those wheels
hi, great video first of all! just wanted to know is it necessary to add biggers shackles if i get the 4.5 lift kit from roungh country or does it come with it, cause on ebay i seen one kit for 500 and the same 4.5 kit for like 700...so i wanted to know if it really comes with every thing it needs, thanks
I like your rig also there should be another sub on your channel wonder who that is 🤔😐
😆 and for the grand finale, we will showcase the Jeep on a sandy beach. Ffs...
Is that rear axle a chrysler 8.25? and what you got on front?
Dana 30
how much do this tires stick out i want to run 33s with my 4.5" lift
At 4.5 inches, you'll need to do some fender and front bumper trimming as the tires stick out from the fenders a fair amount.
Driving Line do you have any pictures of the front i would like to see how much they stick out
There are photos of it in the article, but we don't have any straight on at the moment. www.drivingline.com/articles/cherokee-control-rough-country-s-45-long-arm-suspension-review/
What wheels are on this XJ?
15x8 Ion Alloy 174 wheels
Pretty sure they installed the shocks upside down. Jeep looks good either way👍
The shocks can only go on one way in the front. They are also correct out back per the instructions. Thanks for viewing!
Shocks are not upside down. Shocks are made so that they can be mounted inverted this way. Most all performance shocks are mounted with the body of the shock mounted to the vehicle, not the axle.
What’s the difference between the 4.5 Long arm and the 4.5 x series by rough country
i think the x series have brake hoses and the other one don't have any
the x series is a short arm kit.
Both are shit
@@greatdaneacdc I appreciate the honesty hahaha
What size tires you guys have on it?
33x12.50 Nitto Trail Grapplers.
What rims are those
B.A.S.S RIPPER - Ion Alloy 174 15X8
did you have to regear to run 33s
The owner hasn't re-geared, but it's not a bad idea. He's working on some other upgrades before he goes into the axles.
I have 33in super swampers with stock gears, gets around just fine.
Those tires look like 35s
I can’t believe you went so slow
Can’t it take it?
Anybody know a rough estimate on what this costs installed? I know prices will vary but just a ballpark figure
Most shops around here will charge the same on the install as what you pay for the parts, 2500-3k total with a few steering upgrades, but its a very simple at home weekend job for anyone with a little common sense
Do it your self . not hard just time consuming if it's your first time . You'll have 3k in parts easy
The long arm lift at 4.5 from rough country is only 1300 unless you upgrade your steering. And the slip yoke eliminator is only about 300
Is rc lifts crap or not? Many people have them and many say they are ghetto.. I don't know what to believe
I've never had any issues
RC use to be crappy but they have come a long way.
