you have to get different shocks regardless of how you lift it.

 

ok, well my search for a 3in isnt going so hot

 

Look at the junkyard parts sticky and search add a leaf, budget boost, budget lift and bastard pack.

 

start checking out craigslist and the forum classifieds daily. It may take longer but you will find some great deals on there for the components.

You will need:

front coils
rear leafs or add-a-leafs
maybe longer shackles
shocks for 2-4" of lift


If you go kit - these are the cheapest kit's you'll find

ok ok well thanks. do you have an idea of how much it should cost to get installed? i dont want to get over priced

 

You don't want to do it yourself??

 

heck yea i would want too! but i dont know how

 

Get a haynes or chilton and go by what it says to say remove springs and if you need help ask... at least get a book and look through it and see if its something you would want to tackle.

 

Unless you picked up a cherry, bump the lift and cool neon lights... Maintenance, maintenance, maintenance... My current XJ is my fifth Jeep and the reason is their reliability and versatility. The way to go is even if your Jeep is stock, you still have to "go back" to stock before you have fun. Gotta take care of what you already got. I bought my last XJ completely stock when I was 18, "fixed it", and then had fun. But I think the only real way to have fun is to do it yourself. You don't learn how to do it unless you try.



Sounds familiar. Picked up a '00 Sport w/80k on it for about half of book value and keep finding more "cool" things daily.

 

I gotta admit man, I'm diggin your jeep

 

Thanks. That was my old one I sold a while back. I had so much fun in that thing.

 

How much did you sell it for? Zone offroad 3' or rustys offroad 3'?

 

Much more than you could buy a comparable one for now... Sold it a few years back. And that was probably right around 6" of lift.

 

Stop spamming this forum. If you want people to see that you're looking to buy a Jeep, there is a "Wanted to Buy" section.
