I'll try n get some pics up

 

I've got Mickey Thompson baja Radial MTX 31's on my 97 Cherokee, and Pro Comp 35's on my 80 Cherokee, and both brands are make great tires. They'll go through anything! I might throw some BFG MTs on the 97 once I wear out the Mickeys, I hear they're pretty good tires as well.

As far as lifts go, I've never used anything but Skyjacker, and have been very happy, no problems at all. They're a littlle more expensive, but are very good quality lifts.

 

your 75' is a straight axle right? a 4" lift from superlift or skyjacker would be easy and look good. the lift should come with everything to keep your axle geometry correct. when you do get ready to buy tires you might look at boggers. hteir agresive but will work great in mud, best i've found so far. right now i'm running 44'' boggers with 21'' lift on my excursion. been on it for two years and haven't broke anything yet.

 

texasphysco - Yes I believe its a straight axel and I heard they are alot easier to lift. Any idea how much some of those lift kits are runnin? Sounds like you have an insane excursion.

 

Yes your truck is straight axle. "SFA" they are really easy to lift springs and blocks. if you were looking to do the kit your self go to skyjackers site or what ever brand you want and see if they have prices if not check like summit and jcwhitney they sell lifts.
TexasPsycho, that is alot of lift. do yoe even get miles per gallon or is it gallons per mile? I sure hope you got the power stroke not the V10 in there. Got any pics?

 

i think i'm the only person alive without a digital camera. it gets about 8 to 9 mpg with the V-10. the V-10 has some pretty good torque but i helped it a little with a kennybell supercharger, headers, gibson exhaust and a chip. so far the farthest i have drove it was to houston and back, about 500 miles round trip and didn't have any problems. a 4" lift will run you about $1500 to $2000 if done right. you will need the lift, perferably all springs no blocks, new pitman arm, shocks, steering stabilizers and to do it right you need to beef up the area that your steering box mounts to, dual front shocks help a lot and a good front end alignment. some of that year model trucks can get away with using the same brake lines but some need to be replaced with longer ones and the same goes for the drive shafts. it really doesn't cost much to lengthen the drive shafts at a machine shop my cost me $45 a piece. you can get by going the cheaper route but the truck will handle a lot better doing it right and be safer. don't skimp on the drive shafts, you don't want the front shaft pulling loose when your in the middle of a mud hole or while your going down the hwy.

 

I have 4" on my 03 F350...I have two pictures of it in my gallery. Anything more you cant really use the box for much.

Good luck.

Geez Russ7R, remind me not to get on your bad side!(gun collection) I thought I was doing good with my huge collection of three!

 

i have a 92 ranger with a 4 inch suspension lift, it rides great. just put some new Bridgestone dueller M/T 31's on it. tires are awesome and very quiet for a M/T. i dont know it they make those in 35's or not though.
