Maximize the capability of your 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ with this 6.5-inch lift kit with long arm conversion from BDS Suspension. Designed to improve stance, this kit includes everything necessary to set your truck up right with clearance for up to 33" tires. By maximizing the length of both the upper and lower control arms, BDS has minimized caster change for optimal handling and minimized road forces. The control arm geometry is set up with a massive belly pan that incorporates the link mounts and is built to withstand rock impacts. Believe it or not, this system is entirely bolt-on with no welding to the unibody required!
Up front, the lift kit includes a belly pan with new pivot mounts, heavy-duty lower flex arms, and adjustable upper flex arms to optimize handling characteristics, 4.5" Pro-Ride coil springs capable of full coil bind, and bump stop extensions to control the compression travel, but increase wheel travel. Also included are braided stainless-steel brake lines, ultimate sway bar disconnects, a front-adjustable track bar with a flex joint that fits into the existing frame mount, and a drop pitman arm to improve steering and handling geometry.
The rear kit utilizes Glide-Ride leaf springs for maximum travel, stainless-steel braided brake lines, and extended shackles that allow the springs to flex. Finish off the kit with your choice of specially tuned NX2 nitro series gas shocks or FOX 2.0 IFP performance series gas shocks to offer improved damper performance.
Long Arm Conversion
Upgrading the standard control arms to a long-arm setup adds strength, improves handling, and takes off-road articulation to the next level. This upgrade consists of massive 1/4" steel frame-mounted brackets to install the oversized upper and lower formed long arms. The arms are formed for maximum tire clearance and allow the stock control arm tabs to remain on the vehicle. The upper arms are solid stock, while the heavy-wall tubular lower arms utilize oversized greaseable polyurethane bushings for superior road vibration isolation.
Pro-Ride Coil Springs
A pair of full-length, Jeep-specific Pro-Ride coil springs is supplied to provide the correct lift height and a smooth, predictable ride across various terrains. Manufactured from high-tensile steel, our direct OE replacement coil springs are engineered with properly sized wire diameters. This results in maximum reliability without premature coil bind.
