Question 2" Lift from Fat Bob's Garage?

Hey,
I was looking to get a 2"-2.5" lift for my 99 Cherokee, and I found this one
http://store.fatbobsgarage.com/jeep-...001-p7567.aspx.
I was wondering if it was worth the money, and if not, what should I go with?

Fat Bobs is a good vendor. I did a 2" BB lift on my ZJ with them. I would however NOT do that lift on a XJ. Reason is that that is a AAL lift using a short spring. I would do a Spacer & Shackle lift instead. If you do go with a AAL lift go with one that uses a full length AAL. This http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep_xj_1.html or this http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep_xj_3.html or something simular. You can find 2" BB lift all over the place for $200 or less, $100 or less without shocks.
