Default 2 inch lift question.

I am only wanting two inches. in your opinion what is my best option for a 2 inch lift that wont break the bank? I am wanting new shocks so I was looking at the RE 2 inch lift. would love to hear your thoughts.

well with 2" of lift. lifting the rear has many options. lifting it with a block, add a leaf, and new leaf's. they all lift it, but they also have their downsides. blocks are probably the worst way to lift. add a leaf help, but if your leaf pack start to wear so will your add a leaf, because that one leaf has to fight all the other leafs in the pack from sagging. and new leaf can get pricy depending on where you buy from.

Go or call your local dealership and ask about the Up Country springs.That was a package you could get from jeep,I've heard that they can be pretty cheap and will give you about an 1.5" of lift.
