I was thinking about lifting my 82 cherokee, since it has leaf springs in the front and rear, i was just going to install larger shackles, would that put any stress on my driveline or shocks? Is there anything esle i need to know before i jump into it?

A 2"longer front shackle wil give you 1" of lift. Any longer becomes dangerous. A longer shackle in back will lower the truck. The best (and safest) way to gain lift is to get a lift kit.

I love the kit that TT's fab offers. A little welding, a little bolting, and you've got 7" of lift with great ride quality & tons of flex :cool:
