hello guys well i have saved up enough money finaly to mod my xj. i was looking at the 2inch shackle and spacer lift from fat bobs. they sell one kit with new shocks and one with out. my quastion is can i do the lift and still keep the stock shocks ?

 

Yes, I have a two inch lift and left the stock shocks on. The question should be.... what are you going to change your nickname to... you wont be stock any more!

 

X2, you won't need new shocks

 

you have a good point ill have to change that after the change!! has any one used fat bobs lift kit ? pros cons?

 

2" lift u won't need shocks, but if ur stock ones are crap then it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace them.

 

I'm getting it sometime next summer from FBG, if you get it let me know how you like it

 

i just wanna get a oppion on it before i buy it it looks really easy to install

 

It will be easy as long as there are no seized bolts

 

ive been soaking it with pb for weeks knowing i will be getting a kit soon but yea if they r still seized noting a grinder with a cut off disc wont handle

 

Sound like you got under control. Good Luck!!

 

I got a fat bobs kit. The shackles are really well made and the pucks are as good as any. No complaints.

 

I had to cut a bolt off with a dremel and cutting wheel. Do yourself a favor and get a breaker bar. I think your lug wrench fits the bolts so you could try that if you dont have a breaker bar. It will take a lot of effort but they will break loose.

 

Good to know. Thanks

 

great i will order it tm so it can be shiped out first thing monday now just gotta wait till warmer weather comes ( driveway is my shop )

 

I've got the FBG 2". No complaints.
Be ready - those shackle bolts can throw a whuppin on ya'
