I am planning to lift my Cherokee another 2 inch (approx. 5 cm).
Saying "another 2 inch" because it already had been lifted about 3 cm.
But because of the additional weight (underbody armor, rock sliders, dog cage and roof rack) it is almost back to stock level again.
I am now going to install the MFC 2 inch lift kit, the rear FOX shocks with longer travel and the fast disconnect sway bars (Find 2014-2019 Cherokee KL Suspension Products). The front shocks are going to be replaced by the trailhawk models.
Well, now I'm a little bit concerned abaout the CV shafts.
My mechanic told me that I don't have to worry about...

I would be glad about any thoughts about this.

How did this go? Have you been happy with the setup? Any pics?
The front and rear shocks are mounted. For the rear Fox shocks I had to build other sleeves to make them fitting the bolts.
The spaces don't work with the longer springs. I will try them with the original springs in a few weeks.
The rear sway bars are mounted but the passenger one makes noise. Going to install the stock ones again.

I wouldnt worry too much unless you plan to go over 3 inches, 3" seems to be the sweet spot for most ifs rigs, if you go over though just plan on dropping the diff to level the cv shafts and sway bar drop.
