I'm under the impression that the Commanches have the same style suspension components as the Cherokees, thus I would think the lift kits would be either the same or very similar.

A late update. The Commanche (MJ) suspension is very close to the Cherokee (XJ) suspension, but the kits are sold independantly from the XJ kits. The MJ versions are a little cheaper from what I've seen, but I'm not sure why.

the kits for XJ's are cheaper because of the rear. MJ's are under sprung so when you buy a lift kit all it needs for the back is SOA and it includes longer break lines and longer u-bolts.

Ya. MJ is it's designation.

XJ rear axle is SOA, while the MJ is SUA. Everything else is pretty much interchangable. Hopefully the deal on the MJ I'm looking at for $150 comes through.

Let's see... that'll make you a 3 Jeep family???

Trailmaster makes a 4" lift for comanche trucks. The letter designation for the truck is MJ. The truck will handle great with the lift. Mine didn't require any driveshaft mods with the four inch. Also, an adjustable track bar up front is a must for a lifted comanche. Something with the lift throws the front end off, and without the adjustable track bar, you will have clearance issues with the control arms. With the four inch lift, you can fit with no trimming a 32 x 11.50 tire. Try to find something synthetic and light as the added weight will kill your pickup. When the truck gets the larger tires the steering may loosen up. Check the steering gear box if this happens. If you have anymore questions, let me know.
