We get more than we bargained for when installing a new lift kit on this 1974 Jeep Cherokee! I partner up with my good friends at my local shop and we pull out the old leaf springs suspension and install a new one that has a 4" lift. This will allow me to run some larger tires, have more clearance out on the trails and just give it the proper stance a Jeep like this should have. As we move along the installation, we encounter a few challenges and one that almost ended our night... brakes!
