Ok guys this is what I had in mind. If i use the F150 coils and Camaro isolators that should give me about 5.5"-6" lift right. And then use the full size blazer pack with full size truck shackles to get the same in rear. Would this work and what other parts would I need in oder to do this. Like brake line and TC drop. Just shoot me some ideas I'm new to the XJ world and looking to get mine lifted before winter. Thanks guys.

Chevy 1500 P/U front brake lines should net you an extra 4-5 inches of slack

Rear brake hose from a 96 4x4 Dakota is 6in longer than stock and at that height you will need an SYE and longer shafts.A tc drop won't be enough.

OK thanks. Is there any other Jeep I can get the shafts from.

So how high can I go without using a SYE and new driveshaft.

What year is your Jeep?

I'm guessing a 89 Model

Yeah its an 89. I'm just trying to go cheap until I can save for a better lift. Any suggestions feel free to let me know guys.

Those F150 coils will lift your Jeep, but are so stiff they are almost unbearable and will actually diminish your ability off road. Just save for a better lift. This situation will be exacerbated by that much lift on stock control arms which will destroy your camber angle and give you death wobble which you will not be able to correct until you buy the right control arms or drop brackets at the very minimum. You will be much better off saving up for the lift kit. And remember, the higher you go the more it will cost you.
