Default Cherokee lift

Hey guys i have a 1998 jeep cherokee. Right now it sits with 2 in spacers and shackles. I want to go with a 3 in rough country lift kit without removing the spacers. I was wondering if anybody out there is running this type of set up without changing most of the stock set up. I realize somethings will need to be changed and costly. But am looking for the most inexpensive route. Thanks.

You will need an adjustable track bar, longer lower control arms, extended brake lines to name a few. Also you will need the appropriate length shocks as well. Also make sure you get new leaf packs. There is no inexpensive route as things that need to be changed must be changed to do it right or you will regret it in the end.

x2 everythign adds up quicklly if you do it the rigth way which is the correct way to do it. and that will give you a total lift of 5" correct so you will need to replace alot of parts
