Hi there!
I just picked up a 1999 2 door xj
This will be my daily driver so I want it to ride as smooth as possible on the road.
I may do a little two track and off road for hunting.
The springs sag,so my plan is to replace them and lift it a little to accommadate 30-31" tires
How much lift do I need?
I was told that the 17" wheels from my 96 cobra will fit.
How muc.
Can I get by without modifications to anything else.
I would like to have enough money left to buy some Bushwacker Cut Out flares.
Thanks for any help

 

Price range on lift

 

If you're planning on using cut out flares you can do a 2" budget boost and fit 31's no problem, and the Mustang wheels will bolt up, not sure about the backspacing though

 

For a lift to ride as smooth as possible, I would go with Old Man Emu. From what I hear and read no other lift kit rides as smooth, I have also never heard of any complaints about there products.

 

Except the springs sag fast, we stopped selling them about 2 months ago due to complaints. Shocks are still top notch though.

 

Thank you for the fast responses.
sorry for the slow reply,I am still at work
I see some kits with shocks and springs and all on ebay
do you recommend these?
do I need all of this ?
what is a fair price to have all installed?
Thanks

 

Look into Rubicon Express, BDS, or, I hate saying this, Rustys. Everyone seems to be happy with those lifts and my garage currently sell RE and BDS without any complaints.

Install for a lift should be no more than $350, anything 3" or less is not very hard or time consuming. If you were closer to jersey I would offer you a low price at my shop for a kit and install.

 

Thanks
Should I buy the parts in a kit ?

XJ Cherokee 2" Add-A-Leaf Kit
Code: RK-200AL-XJ Price: $270.00 Is the Rusty's XJ Cherokee 2" ADD A leaf kit what I need?

 

Always, many people think buying separate is cheaper, it never works out like that.

Add a leaf wont work if your springs are already sagging

I was hoping to spend less money.
going way past budget
Is it possible?

 

will a 2" lift would be enough for 31" tires
I am sorry to admit it but, this truck will be used 99% of the time commuting to and from work.

 

Hello again
with 2" or 3" lift, will I need to modify drive shaft or anything other than the lift kit?

 

A 2" lift will allow you to fit 31's but they will rub on the fenders if you wheel it.

With 2" of lift probably not, and with 3" you may. Every jeep is different though.
