I know its not a ranger but Im sure someone out here can help me out

I got a 91 jeep cherooke with stock height right now and 31" mudders... and I like the stock height for highway but for the bush I want higher

this is what I am thinking

Put some bags.. when the bags are deflated im at stock height and when the bags are full im at 6-8" higher whatever extra height I can get out of them.... is this possible... and if so... what do I need to do this setup?!

Tank, compressor, bags, lines... what else?

Thanks

You'd have to really look at your pinion angles. You can't really drop differentials and the radius arm brackets because of the adjustment in ride height. I know on Rangers, if you have more than 2" of lift, you MUST have radius arm drop down brackets or you'll run into all sorts of problems. All of your steering would have to be able to handle that much adjustment and still work at both levels....... basically its going to be way cheaper to have it low or put it high and leave it there. Go for a more subtle lift suspension lift, such as the RE5520 4.5" Extreme Duty Suspension System. You can buy these kits directly from www.rubiconexpress.com
