2 in lift
 
Hey guys I am going to be ordering a lift sometime today or tomorrow and need a little insight. For right now I am going to go with a 2 inch lift. I have read about budget boosts/lifts and I want your guys opinions on what to get for it. Also, for just a 2 inch lift can I get all new leafs that lift 2 inch or only bigger or do I go with AAL? So essesntially what I'm saying I guess is what do I need and what do you recommend?

i wouldnt get and AAL, that will give you a ruff ride, from what i heard you can get a rear shackle instead for alot cheaper and keep your ride quality, thats what im doing:thumbup1:

Rough Country sells a 1.5" lift kit that includes shackles instead of AALs. $249.95. http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep_xj_1.html
Rubicon Express sells a 2" lift with AALs, but it comes with extended brake lines and center pins. $259.95.

Or you could go with a 3" from Rough country for $255.95. But it has AALs.

depending on how cheap your budget is you can get some stuff for cheap off ebay think i got my shackles for like 37 from rough country, then bout the same for the front spacers im just running stock shocks and brakelines for right now i know its not recommended but it works till i get my bigger lift

There is a guy selling budget lifts in the "selling" section. 1.75" coil spacer and 2" shackel. It's cheap and not uncommon to hear of useing ontop of pre existing lift. Hope that helps. AAL is supossed to sag, but i've had mine for over a yr and no sag yet. Prayin it stays that way.

Try "Fat Bob's Garage" or "Rustys Off Road" they sell inexspensive budget lifts.
