Add-Leaf/Coil Spacer
I have a 1996 4.0L 4x4 Cherokee with 3" Skijacker Lift. I was just wanting to know if or how i could put coil spacers on the front and a add-leaf on the rear? Can i add that to my 3" Lift or would blocks and shackles work for the rear???

Depends how more you wnat to go. Spacers and shackles would be best. May also need new shocks,longer brakes lines and control arms as well asa SYE

3" is sort of the borderline between a nice easy lift and really getting into more complicated parts. XJjeepthing is correct about the shocks, brakelines, control arms, and possibly an SYE too. Even if you only add another 1.5-2" you will be getting to a height where the suspension and drivetrain are put under significantly more strain then they are at 3" of lift. But with all that said, your best bet is to just use a spacer/shackle budget boost to acheive those extra couple inches. Try to stay away from blocks as they can cause axle wrap which is never good...
