99-04' Grand Cherokee WJ lifts

[JackstandJohnny]

figure if i can't sell it gonna make it kickass cool.  looking for lifts, found a few, just looking for any kind of feedback. first is Iron Rock Offroad.. heres what ya get http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=IROR&Product_Code=IR-W_4LK&Category_Code=PFW   i've never heard anything of this kit/company.  from the looks of it, seems like its just a rough country lift.

second is from Zone offroad. i found the kit on ebay, and when i went to the website, nothing for the WJ.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SUSPENSION-LIFT-KIT-4-99-04-JEEP-GRAND-CHEROKEE-WJ_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33585QQihZ014QQitemZ330272808673QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

by the way i think i suffer from Jeepitis or something. this could be the second lift i've ordered in a week, and might go grab some bigger meats too. that'd be two lifted jeeps in a week. i need a girl friend or something

Hey John,
have you checked out kevinsoffroad? he seems to know alot about the grands.

[JackstandJohnny]

yea i checked kevins, mostly back in the day of the ZJ. but i was just on his site, and all he really has is a budget boost and a kickazz long arm setup.  dont' need something so extravagant is the problem. i called northshore offroad today to check the availability of one of those zone kits, and maybe a BDS kit too.  also will check in at modern when 'm there picking up my rubicon lift and tires for the YJ too

So what do you think the price will be for the lift kit after the exchange rate, customs fees & shipping?  Any thoughts on the old Man Emu option where they supply after market front springs in the kit and you use your factory fronts on the rear.  saves a buck and apparently works well.  Anyone with any experience?  Is North Shore cheaper than Modern for stuff?

[WhiteOut]

Call IRO, I had a great experience when I ordered from them, I didn't pay any import/duty since it falls under NAFTA.  The guys there will do everything possible to keep the price down.  The F<R swap requires V8 springs for it to work right, but I havent heard of it being done on a WJ. 

North shore, and very possibly IRO, will be cheaper than National and Modern, both of which overcharge just because they can.

[JackstandJohnny]

update on this for anyone wondering. i called northshore, the Zone lift is 750 to my door, from Vancouver, no shipping, etc...... thought that was a good deal, still is.  think i'm gonna just stick with the 2" right now though.........

Ironrock offroad offers some nice kits for the 99-04 Grands.. I have the 6.5" long arm(front)on my 02 WJ overland and it is a flex monster... they also offer the same kit at 4.5" of lift

Johnny,

i did alot of research on WJ lift before i did mine. IRO has a very good reputation, and it seems alot of people prefer them to any other. The Zone kit is pretty new and the guy i got my OME kit from upgraded to Zone, and spoke really highly of them too.  I think either is a good choice, whatever you can get over the border easier i guess

[MagnutsWJ]

i just realized this is an old thread

[JackstandJohnny]

lol thanks guys,
ya kai, got rid of it. if i ever did another WJ, it'd be a trail rig only, and i'd run the 6.5" IRO long arm yeye lol research is good!  going wheelin tomorrow, if so have fun!

[dukabor]

I have the 6.5 IRo front long arm kit on my '02 WJ..... It ROCKS!!!!

[keener]

I just got the OME kit installed at BBB last week on my 04 Overland and so far it rides well.  I haven't had it offroad yet.
