I have a 94 Cherokee Country. I want a small lift 2" . Any suggestions? Do I need to change the shocks? Spacers in front, Blocks or shackles in rear? Thanks

I've gathered up the stuff for my 2" lift. spacers in front and leafs from an S-10 in the back. From my research stock shocks will not be long enough at full extenison

Rear leaf bolts will be a nightmare to remove, use 2in. blocks if you don't want all the trouble.

Stock shocks with a 2" lift will be fine.. i ran it on my old XJ and never had issues

and i wouldn't suggest using lift blocks either..just use an S10 or dodge dakota leaf pack to build up your stock main leaf in your leaf springs.....

its waaaaay worth the work to "bastard pack" your leaf springs than it is to put a lift block in there...
(you don't wanna be like those chevy guys now do you?)
plus it looks and performs better too
