Buy some coil spacers from autozone for around $35 a set.
then build yourself a "bastard pack" out of some leafs from a chevy s10 at the junkyard. Go to your local suspension store and buy 4 U bolts, 2 leaf allignment pins, and 4 leaf clamps. The cashier shouldn't be charging you any more than $50 for the parts.

The entire lift itself shouldn't cost you more than $100. I'd say $75-$80 is about right.

this should probably be in tech section but watev. go to the tech thread page and look in the budget junkyard parts list. you can do it cheap with full spring lift instead of spacers.

True but then you'll raise the price. Also I don't reccomend throwing just any front suspension component on a vehicle. I'd get something designed for an XJ instead of swapping coils off from let's say an F150.

cherokee monster Dec 24, 2010 11:23 AM

no lol the bolts that hold the body on i plan to lift it an inch aswel so 4 inchs altogether with the suspension lift but i cant find them and do u have to cut holes in the floor to get to them????

rmcki17 Dec 24, 2010 11:50 AM

cherokees are unibody, no bolts holding frame/body together.

cherokee monster Dec 24, 2010 12:09 PM

does that mean i cant do a body lift lol

sidedrifter Dec 24, 2010 12:32 PM

No you can not do a body lift as the body is part of the frame.

GRIMM Dec 24, 2010 12:40 PM

You would be correct sir!

BlackXJ Dec 24, 2010 12:56 PM
