Tuff Country 43800 3.5" Lift Kit EZ-Ride with Rear Blocks No Shocks
Product Details
Description
Lift your 1987–2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ 4WD with the Tuff Country EZ-Ride 3.5-inch lift kit (43800) for a confident, capable ride on and off the trail. This kit is designed to deliver a practical balance of ground clearance, stability, and value without requiring a premium investment.
- Lift Height: EZ-Ride 3.5" suspension lift with front lifted up to 5" and rear around 3" for added ground clearance.
- Vehicle Fitment: Specifically engineered for 1987–2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ 4WD applications.

- Tire Clearance: Increases tire clearance to accommodate 31" tires (31" x 10.5").
- Front End Alignment: Extended control arm and track bar bracket help keep the front end in proper alignment after installation.
- Drivetrain Comfort: Includes a transfer case drop kit to minimize driveline vibrations and fitment issues.
- Control Arms & Bushings: Polyurethane bushings on the control arms for durability and improved steering feel.
- Backspacing Compatibility: Requires rims with 4.5" backspacing or less for proper clearance and fitment.
- Warranty: Backed by Tuff Country’s limited lifetime warranty for long-term reliability.
- Made in the USA: Proudly manufactured in the United States for quality assurance.
Whether you’re tackling rocky trails or cruising highways, this kit provides the solid foundation you need to go farther with your Cherokee XJ. It’s an established, value-focused solution from Tuff Country—a brand with over 25 years of suspension experience—designed to enhance tire clearance, maintain alignment, and improve overall off-road capability. Note the kit does not include shocks; plan for extended shocks if you want to maximize performance, and verify wheel backspacing to ensure a clean, confident install.
