1984–2001 · model hub
Unibody SUV with coils up front and leaf springs out back. Many owners swear by the 4.0L inline-six, and it remains a popular budget trail rig.
- Bolt pattern
- 5×4.5" (5×114.3 mm)
- Typical stock tires
- ~27–29" (225/75R15)
- Common upgrade
- 31" with a 2–3" lift; 33" with 3–4.5" plus trimming
- Lift notes
- The unibody needs stiffening (frame stiffeners) once you wheel it hard on a bigger lift.
These are typical figures. Check your door-jamb sticker and owner’s manual, because trims and years vary.
