lift question. PLEASE HELP
So my 96 Cherokee 4x4 has a 4.5 inch suspension lift. add a leaf and shackle in the rear. And the rear sits a tad higher than the front. I was wondering how and what would be the cheapest way to lift the front 1-3 inches... I have been told that this could be a problem due to it being a short arm kit, and it would pull the tires back too much, causing them to rub the fender. Isn't there some sort of spacer or something that you can put above the coil/shock, to lift the front harmlessly? Please help me with this, as i am somewhat new... Thanks!
This is somewhat was i was looking at here... Would these work? Even if i already have a lift?

Are you sure it is a 1-3" difference? Most lift kit manufacturers build their kits to make the rear sit a little higher to compensate for the weight of tools, gear or a possible rear tire carrier. It will settle a bit but, a 3" difference is a little extreme. To answer your other question, donnot add anymore lift to your front end if your lift kit came with fixed length control arms. If yours are adjustable then go for it.
