Overview
The TeraFlex 1371200 is a Cherokee Budget Boost lift kit for the 1984–2001 Jeep Cherokee (XJ). It gives a 1-1/2 to 2 inch lift. It fits the Base, Briarwood, Chief, Classic, Country, Laredo, Limited, Pioneer, SE and Sport trims of the XJ.
The kit contains components for both the front and rear of the vehicle. At the front, spring spacers are placed above the coils. At the rear, shackles are added to the leaf springs. Shocks are not included.
Confirm fit for your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering, and check the parts against your installation before starting.

Leaf spring and coil spacer basics
Leaf springs and coil springs carry weight in different ways, so a lift that uses spacers above the coils and shackles on the leaf springs changes each end of the vehicle in its own way. Shackles change the rear geometry and affect how the leaf springs flex, while front spacers raise the coil seat and can change the steering geometry. Checking how each change affects the axle position is important before the vehicle is driven hard.
Older XJs often have worn bushings, bent mounts and tired shock bushings, so inspect these before installing a lift. Leaf spring bushings and U-bolts deserve a check after the first trips, and the rear axle pinion angle should be looked at if the driveshaft vibrates. Keep track of how the vehicle rides after the lift, because changes in handling are an early sign that a part needs attention.
- Check U-bolts after the first drive
- Inspect leaf spring bushings for wear
- Look at pinion angle if the driveshaft vibrates
