i have a 3 inch long arm skyjacker on a 96 xj and i want to know if i add a 2 inch lift shackle lift and 2 inch coil spacers am i going to need longer pitman arm or anythin else?..... i guess it would be a 5 inch lift total. the rear already has 3 inch blocks. kinda looks like a half *** lift job but it works and looks good, just want it a lil higer. i was told the xj already has a tranny drop.

 

i would get rid of the blocks as they will crack get springs for the rear and shacles to get your lift height i wouldnt get more then 3.5 springs for the rear after that the arch of the springs will hurt your flex and yes you will need a pitman arm an adjustrable trackbar longer brakelines longer shocks and possibly an SYE depending if you have vibes or not

 

At 5 inches I would be more concerned with the angle of the front control arms. At that height you should go with longarms or at least control arm drop brackets.

 

sounds like ill just fix the rear lift and leave it..... thanx!
