Okay please excuse my stupid questions as this is my first lift ever and I'm doing it all myself. I have a ruff country 4" lift for my '00 cherokee but it's missing the coil springs. Can I use poly spacers for the stock coils and if so where can I get them at? Thank you!

I bought a used XJ with a 3" Zone Suspension lift installed. The previous owner removed the swaybar endlinks, leaving the sway bar connected. I'd like to replace the endlinks, can I just use stock sized ones?

Something like the MOOG 8 1/4" links? http://www.fme-cat.com/overlays/part... CHEROKEE&vin=

No. Your sway bar end should point up 10-15 deg from horizontal. Stock links will pull it down.

I have a 3" ZONE lift on my Jeep. Im upgrading to full 3" leafs come February with taxes. I want to get new shocks all the way around as well. Im looking at the Bilstein 5100 shocks that are 46mm monotube. My question is, can I go with shocks for a 4" lift instead of 3"? I plan on bump stopping correctly and go more for tire droop.

Are there any ill effects if it's off a little? Besides stress on the bushings and less suspension travel. Mine sits about level not upward anymore after the 2" lift.
