Sorry to derail things, but how much lift and tire does this Cherokee have?

Not to speak for JR, (I guess I will anyway),
it has Ranch front 2.5" springs with a block in the rear. Tires are nice and new BFG KO2s 32x11.50r15. I love those tires.

Rancho! That's who it is, sorry my new Cherokee has the same lift but I couldn't for the life of me remember who makes the 2.5".

Yep, Kevin is right on the suspension. Local shop put the kit in back in the early '90s (if I remember correctly). Jeep has new Sykjackers installed. I need to look into this shackle flip thing everyone talks about. BFGs are great. These are my second set. Best part is no whine whatsoever doing 75 on the highway.

This is our first November without a trip to AZ since 2008. Sure missed the gathering. Looks like great weather and a good time!
