thanks.
 






Carlover -- Has anyone had success with these kits (not breaking)? I'm assuming the kit requires welding.
 






No welding required, and its a very strong kit from what ive heard. FROADER uses this kit and he beats his truck pretty good from what ive seen and heard. Iv been thinking of using it myself, but id just be taking it back off when i got my deaver leaf springs so i might as well wait.
 






Interesting...how does that thing stay on the axle housing without slipping? I couldn't tell by the pictures. I can't believe I didn't hear about this kit before, I thought welding was the only answer.
 












It says no welding required, however i would NOT run it w/o welding it...when Josh S. helped me with my SOA a while back he told me that he did the same thing, didn't weld it and it slipped on him a couple of times...i'm sure it's different for everyone but to be safe i would weld it...it's the only mount from your spring to your axle...why take a chance?
 






Don't be scurred. I can get more pictures tonight too. Those are from when Felix put them on and the only pics so far.

I had em on mine before I did the 9", no problems.
 






new perches are like $20 and and whatever it cost to get um welded on has to be cheaper....my $.02
 






i heard about it through a friend. he has an axle flip kit in the back and a coil over in the front on his cherokee. fits 33's with some minor cutting.
 






cherokees are already SOA...you will achieve 5-6 inches and be able to squeez 35s i believe...with a SOA on an explorer
 












(A cherokee is nothing like an explorer.)-this i know

(35s fit no problem with the SOA on an explorer. No squeezing about it)- news to me...
 












damn thats nice to know.
 






yeah you can run 5`s of lift and clear 35's with plenty of room to spare, just minor trimming on the inner wheel well
 






with a 98?
