Description

Tuff Country 43803 3.5" Lift Kit No Shocks is a purpose-built suspension upgrade for Jeep Cherokee XJ owners seeking extra ground clearance and improved off-road capability without swapping out shocks. This kit lifts the front about 3.5 inches and the rear about 3 inches, tuned for 1987–2001 Cherokee 4WD to accommodate larger tires and rough terrain.

  • Compatibility: Fits 1987–2001 Jeep Cherokee 4WD (XJ), ensuring correct geometry and fitment for this platform.
  • Lift Height: 3.5" front / 3" rear lift to maximize ground clearance while preserving handling.
  • Shocks Included: Without Shocks — you can reuse your existing shocks or select a new setup that matches your desired ride feel.
  • Front Springs: EZ-Ride front coil springs designed to deliver a balanced, capable ride for daily driving and off-road use.
  • Rear Springs: Rear leaf springs replace tired stock leaves to restore stance and improve payload support.
  • Articulation Upgrade: EZ-Flex lower control arms with poly bushings boost axle articulation for better traction on uneven surfaces.
  • Alignment & Geometry: Track bar relocating bracket helps maintain proper axle alignment after lifting.
  • Drivetrain Vibration: Transfer case drop kit minimizes driveline vibrations and binding after the lift.
  • Brake & Line Clearance: Brakeline relocation kit ensures safe clearance with increased ride height.
  • Hardware & Fasteners: Includes essential hardware (U-bolts and a hardware bag) for a complete installation.
  • Tire Compatibility: Designed to support up to 31" tires (e.g., 31x10.5"), broadening off-road options.

Benefits: This 3.5/3 lift unlocks greater ground clearance for rugged trails while maintaining a balanced on-road feel, thanks to EZ-Ride front springs and rear leaf springs that preserve stability under load. Enhanced articulation from the EZ-Flex control arms helps you maintain traction on uneven terrain, and the transfer case drop kit reduces driveline vibrations for a smoother, more confident highway cruise. With the track bar bracket and brakeline relocation you’ll keep steering precise and safe as you climb, and the no-shocks configuration lets you tailor your damping by pairing with your preferred shock setup. Ideal for Jeep enthusiasts chasing authentic off-road capability without compromising daily drivability.
