About this kit
4.5-Inch Lift Kit with N3 Shocks, fitment-checked
Rough Country 68622 is a 4.5-inch lift kit for the 1984–2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ 4WD, built around 4.5in front coils, a pair of 4in rear leaf springs, a forged adjustable track bar rated for 4-6.5 inches of lift, and an N3 shock box. It fits only Cherokees with the NP231 transfer case.
This 4.5-inch lift kit for the 1984–2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ 4WD covers Base through Limited, Sport, Laredo, Chief, Country, Pioneer, Classic, Briarwood, and SE. Verify the transfer case first: only NP231-equipped Cherokees qualify. The kit is not for the 2.8L V-6 or diesel engines, the AX5 transmission, or 87-89 Jeeps with Peugeot manual transmissions. Long arms, high-clearance lower control arms, X-Flex arms with greasable flex joints, and quick-disconnect sway bar links handle the geometry and articulation side. Running 33" tires means trimming the fenders. A downloadable Rough Country installation guide is available before you start.
