is that everything that i need to do the lift besides tires ?? another special things its a 2wd jeep

 

check out zone offroad...I went with the 4.5 in on mine and it rides smooth..

 

Yes and No. Yes, you can install the lift as it comes and drive away, after alignment. But lifting is going to exagerate any issues with worn suspension components. 2WD same as 4wd, as far as lifting goes. Good thing is 2WD does NOT need a TC drop or SYE.

 

what all extra stuff do i need to get

 

Imo, I would replace All of the Tie rod ends and any suspension bushing NOT included with the whatever kit you get. Doing a lift is a Major change to your rig, although easy to do. But most XJ's have a few miles on them and are due for major servicing anyway, by the time we get around to Modding them.
