Description
Our Old Man Emu (OME) Hybrid kits are BY FAR our most popular among Cherokee owners, and for good reason. Fantastic ride quality and handling, maximum articulation, and low COG make these kits a top pick for your Cherokee! We specialize in suspension tuning and can set up your suspension to perform to your own individual needs.
The 3.5″ or 4.5″ Super Ultimate CORE Hybrid Suspension Lift Kit is an all-encompassing, high-performance suspension upgrade for the Jeep Cherokee XJ, combining the best components from Old Man Emu, CORE 4×4, JKS, and DPG Off-Road. Designed for XJ models from 1984 to 2001, this kit offers significantly improved off-road capability, superior ride quality and stability, and excellent durability with a choice of lift heights to match your build and tire size.
A full hybrid suspension system! Don’t fall into the trap of buying a low-quality or less-than-complete “lift kit.” Excellent OME ride, handling, and off-road performance!
Fits 31″ tires without fender trimming, up to 33″ tires with fender trimming, and 35″ tires with fender trimming and rear quarter cut and fold.
Our finest XJ short arm system by far!
