Default 2 door lifts

ya i have a 2dr with a 4banger but its got no ***** so im upgrading to a straight 6 2dr and im wondering if theres anything other than a basic lift that is needed because of the shorter axle spread and driveshafts

There is no difference in the suspension for a 2 or 4 door, 4 or 6 cylinder. All XJ 4x4 suspensions are exactly the same.

I believe the wheelbase is the same between 2 and 4 door. 2 door just has longer door and longer side windows
