Watching you DIY with a smile makes this video fun! I've loved WJ's for years, and installed $100 pucks all the way up to $3k long arm systems. Unless you wanna start chopping up the body, a 2-3" budget boost with a set of 31's is my favorite combo. Looks tough without all the expense and comments about over-compensating for penile deficiencies. Well done.

Hey Dan H, DW here in the deep south. As always, much respect for your time and consideration of covering the bases on your diy zj and wj vids. Its the small things like calling out the wrench and socket sizes along the way, and giving hints and tips to make things easier for the guy or gal, that has never done a lift of any kind. Great job again! WJ is coming along great!Knocked it out of the park! Its a JEEP thing :)

Really nice tutorial! Just bought a very clean '02 steel blue Laredo and this looks like a nice upgrade to put on it. No off-road duties but it'll give it a nice stance without going into suspension mods with a larger lift. Thx

Good evening from Arizona!! I purchased my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 1 week ago and just completed installing this kit along with new side mirrors, windshield, wipers, all fluids flushed and clean. New headlights and taillights. Next to do is front and rear brakes along with new heavy duty front and rear bumpers. Thank you Dan for all your input!!!

Dan H, my neighbor got this kit and loves it. He trimmed his fenders and is able to run a 32 inch tire. It is a backup vehicle/trail toy. I was very surprised how well the kit rides and I personally love the stance. Its how the WJ should have come from the factory. Great kit if you just want to start offroading.

Did you have problems with U joints or front linkage? I had considered a budget 3" lift but was advised not to. I was told that I would end up having to drop transfer case 1" and purchase extended front end components. Especially, if I used 4 wheel drive. All I wanted to do is eliminate a slight rub if I hit a bump when turning. I ran the 16s on it before I put a lift on it. Now there is no rub and it looks good as well
