About this kit
4.5-Inch Lift Kit with V2 Shocks, fitment-checked
Rough Country 68970 is a 4.5-inch lift kit for the 1984–2001 Jeep Cherokee 4WD, built around 4.5in front coils, an add-a-leaf spring kit, rear lift shackles, a forged adjustable track bar, and two pairs of V2 monotube shocks. It fits only Cherokees with the NP231 transfer case, and 33-inch tires call for fender trimming.
This 4.5-inch lift kit for the 1984–2001 Jeep Cherokee 4WD covers Base through Limited submodels, including Chief, Country, Laredo, Pioneer, Sport, Briarwood, Classic, and SE. The box carries front coils rated at 4.5in, an add-a-leaf spring kit for the rear, rear lift shackles, a forged adjustable track bar, and V2 monotube shocks front and rear. Confirm your drivetrain first: only NP231 transfer case Jeeps qualify, and the 2.8L V-6, diesel engines, AX5 transmissions, and 87-89 Peugeot manual transmissions are all outside the fitment. A downloadable Rough Country installation guide is available before you start.
