BDS Suspension Jeep XJ Cherokee 8.5" Long Arm System 1987-2001

This kit comes with front and rear Pro-Ride coils springs and matching BDS NX2 series shock absorbers. These coils are made from 5160 spring steel and pre-set to handle anything that you can throw at them. The kit includes long adjustable upper control arms with flex ends. The long lower control arms are adjustable and are made from 1-3/4" OD 0.250" wall DOM tubing. An extreme drop pitman arm is included to match the new adjustable track bar. BDS' ultimate sway bar disconnects are included to allow for some serious off road flex. New Kevlar lined stainless steel brake lines are included. No welding to the uni-body is required nor is it recommended. A new heavy duty belly pan is included to gain ground clearance as well as offer serious protection. The rear is lifted with new BDS Glide-Ride 5" leaf springs with greasable 1" extended shackles and a 2" block allows the springs to really flex.

• Slip yoke eliminator and rear CV style driveshaft is required for installation.
• This system only works on 4.0 liter and automatic transmission models.
• Minor welding required.
• 96 and earlier models may require a longer emergency brake cable
