- '97 XLT
I bought a 97 XLT a few months ago. As a long-time Jeep CJ owner, I'm in the mood to make some mods. I just spent a few days in the Maze District of Canyonlands NP, and the Explorer performed admirable, with the only mod being 31x10.5 tires. The running boards took a couple good shots though. So, after that adventure, I'm wondering what is available to lift the truck and protect the rocker panels a little. I'd like to lose the running boards and install something a little tougher, and gain a little clearance at the same time. Also interested in a body or suspension lift. How involved is a body lift, and who makes the kits? From what I've seen, I think a suspension lift might not be possible on a 97. Anyone have some input?
Thanks,
Brent
