About this kit
4.5-Inch Lift Kit with V2 Shocks, fitment-checked
Rough Country 68670 is a 4.5-inch lift kit for the 1984–2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ 4WD, built around two V2 monotube shock pairs, 4.5in front coils, and 4in rear leaf springs. It fits only NP231 transfer case models and rules out 2.8L V-6 and diesel engines, AX5 transmissions, and 87-89 Peugeot manual transmissions.
Shock choice is what sets this 4.5-inch lift kit for the 1984–2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ 4WD apart: it ships with two V2 monotube shock pairs rather than the N3 or M1 option. The rest of the package covers 4.5in coils, a pair of 4in rear leaf springs, four long-arm kit boxes, and a forged adjustable track bar rated for 4-6.5 inches of lift. X-Flex control-arm joints use a 2.5-inch body with 1.25-inch threads and stay greasable, and the uppers pivot to 20 degrees while the lowers reach 35 degrees. Running 33" tires means trimming the fenders.
