Rough Country 68640 is a 4.5-inch lift kit for 1984–2001 Jeep Cherokee 4WD, built around front coils, rear leaf springs, a forged adjustable track bar, and two pairs of M1 monotube shocks. It fits only Cherokees equipped with the NP231 transfer case, and it does not fit the 2.8L V-6 or diesel engines, the AX5 transmission, or 87-89 Peugeot manual transmissions.

This 4.5-inch lift kit for the 1984–2001 Jeep Cherokee 4WD covers Base through Limited trims, including Chief, Laredo, Pioneer, Sport, and the other submodels listed in the fitment section. The bill of materials includes 4.5-inch front coils, a pair of 4-inch rear leaf springs, a forged track bar rated for a 4-6.5 inch lift range, and two M1 monotube shock pairs. Read the transfer case, engine, and transmission exclusions carefully before ordering, and plan on trimming the fenders if you intend to run 33-inch tires. A downloadable Rough Country installation guide is available.
