I've heard nothing but rave reviews of Clayton kits. I haven't seen the WJ kit personally but I have seen the ZJ kit on my cousins old rig and it's beef. He was real happy with it.

The Clayton kits are awesome setups no matter what vehicle they are on.. I wish I could afford it, then I'd def pick up a set of long arms for my XJ... But I've been looking at the kits for the XJ as well as the WJ when I was looking to pick one up from IRO.. I have seen them on the trails on both bodies... they perform nicely!!

You mean a 1997 ZJ?

Well first off a 97 would be a ZJ, and secondly there are quite a few companies that make LA kits for them..

IronRockOffroad (http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=IROR&Category_Code=ZLK) has a 5.5 and a 7" LA kit

Clayton Offroad (http://claytonoffroad.com/index.php/cPath/20_54?osCsid=51b4be4a81101e89a11ba179d80ef4ef) has two different 7" LA kits

Rusty's Offroad (http://www.rustysoffroad.com/jeep-suspension/jeep-suspension-lift-kits/zj-grand-cherokee-93-98-jeep-suspension-lift-kits/rustys-zj-grand-cherokee-5-5-long-travel-kit.html) has a 5.5" LA kit as well as an LA upgrade for any other short arm kit you guys might like to run better.

Rubicon Express (http://www.rubiconexpress.com/Lift-Kits-Suspensions-Shocks/Jeep-Suspension.aspx?t_c=1&t_s=38&t_pt=3533&vgID=11&Rubicon%20Express%20Suspension%20Type_PQ=EXTREME-DUTY%20LONG%20ARM&Manufacturer_PQ=Rubicon%20Express#tab1) has a 4.5" LA kit, and you coudl always throw some coil spacers in to add more lift as the arms are adjustable.

I know iron rock sells long arm kits for grand Cherokees.
I use their long arms on my xj, I'm very happy with them.

I used a kit that was closed to $2000. It used a block in the back instead of replacing the control arms.
