installing moog ZJ v8 coils to get 3/4" of lift in a 2000 jeep Cherokee XJ. I was hoping to net more lift. I might add some coil spacers to this setup later down the line. Some threads online said 1-1.5” so I was surprised at the 3/4” lift. Ill add some 3/4” spacers up front at a later date. At least it fixed the pass side lean the rig had.
Took me way longer than it does on my XJ crawler. Crawler takes 15-20 mins per side since it flexes so much I dont have to drop trackbar, control arm, shocks, etc, its a super simple swap. On a stock rig, it takes longer, more steps, no flex. Still didnt take that long, maybe a couple hours.

Ive been wheeling XJ rock Crawlers for over 20 years, but now I want a stock XJ all of a sudden?
just ongoing suspension updates for this huge rusted piece of crap
I love XJs, parts are cheap, Easy to get, and they are easy to work on, and easy to diagnose!
go over the reasons why I wanted a stock XJ and talk about why I picked up a new 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ.
I don't think I will make this one into a Rock Crawler like the rest of them, I think I will keep it stock to maybe slightly modified stock (maybe a volt on 3.5" lift and 31"-33" tires down the road) but for now, I love driving this thing as is with all of the steering and suspension work, and finally getting the interior cleaned out.
Some of the things I started off with:
Replace the CPS and Trans control module to get rid go P01694 code
fixed no bus signal on the gauge cluster with a new cluster (cleaned grounds, news CPS, new trans control module above )
Replace Driver front window regulator and driver front door control switch panel
all 4 shocks and rear flag nut (rear bolts broke off in the frame)
trackbar
TRE at pitman arm
welded up caliper slide area on knuckles
upgraded LED headlights and wiring harness
ignition lock cylinder
trans fluid swap 2 times
New Goodyear wrangler trail runner ATs
new headliner and misc interior bulbs
lots of cleaning
air filter, coil and filter
Battery and starter cable upgrade, upgraded ground wires too and cleaned all grounds
New gauge
It needs a ton of work to get the interior cleaned up, it was nasty. Beyond nasty.
New hatch struts
new hood cable
Some seat covers (gave up on cleaning the seats)
New radio
Just got it smogged and regd so at least ive got that going for me, which is nice!
Im going to be doing a ton of projects on this jeep over the coming months, so subscribe to stay tuned as I post videos. Plan is to get it mechanically sound first, fix all the known issues.
Jeep Cherokee XJs are my favorite car ever built, hands down, I have owned countless XJs over the last 23 years.
