Default Lift ??? and other!

Okay! First off, What coil springs would I need on a 99 XJ sport up front to get a 2" lift? What would be a good cheap shock to throw up front?


The back now, I have terrible leaf sag in the rear. It had some anyhow before I lifted it 4" once with Blocks and now I am back to stock and the sag is really bad. What rear leafs would I need to fix the sag problem but still not get beat to death? Once I fix the sag can I get rear shackles to lift it 2" in the rear? With this setup could I use air shocks for stock height if I make BPE's for them? Cuz I think it makes them longer so,...... I pull a trailer alot with multiple atv's so I am trying to make this work in all areas.

If your looking to do the 2" BB, up front you want the springs out of a V8 Grand Cherokee and a 1 inch spacer, or springs out of an F-150.

In back your best bet would probably be to go get a stock set of XJ leaf springs and a stock set out of a Dodge Dakota or Chevy S-10 from a junk yard and make a Bastard Pack.

For more info search the forum for "Bastard Pack" or "Budget Boost" and you will probably get all the info you need.
