Default I need some advice

I have a 95 XJ with a 3" lift and a set of 31X10.50. Just got an extra couple bucks and looking to do some improving. I'm thing about adding 2" spacers and shackles to get some more heigth out of it. Just not sure what else to do. Probably doing a TC drop as well temp. till i can actually afford a SYE and new driveshafts. Any suggestions.
Thanks

Why do you want to lift it more? Do you have clearance issues? What kind of terrain do you wheel in?

I just went from a 4" lift and 31s to a 5" lift and 34s. It's cool and all, but was a butt-load of work, and money. And I miss the practicality of my old xj.

I would honestly say, depending on what you got, get some better 31s, and a locker and maybe some armor. I love the locker I put in my rig the most.

That two inches is going to cost you. In addition to whatever springs and such you want to get, you will need new brake lines, lower and upper control arms, and adjustable track bar, slip yoke eliminator and rear driveline.
