Okay so I know that this has probably been talked about a lot but I just can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. To start, I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee. It has the stock suspension on it and I finally have to give in and buy new leaf springs. When I spoke with a mechanic he also suggested getting a two inch block lift to fix the clearance issues I was having with my wider rims. Also, the shocks are brand new. I don't want to have to replace them again. I still have a few questions though...

- Should I just get stock replacement leafs?
- if I get leafs with a 2.5" lift, do I have to replace the shocks?
- do I need new shocks with blocks?
- where can I get these parts without spending a ton of money?


Any information would help. Thanks.

 

If you bought stock length shocks then you will basically lose 2 inches of travel if you lift it.

I'd say buy a 2" coil spacer
And then buy 2" old man emu leaf packs..

Your shocks will most likely limit your flex (which is not ideal) but it will work.

Don't run a block..so many better options.

 

Will that be a big deal? I honestly don't know anything about suspension. I don't go crawling with it. I just go through light trails.

 

You should be fine then.
Get a small coil spacer and then get the OME leafs..

 

Buy 2 of these http://www.quadratec.com/products/16...FQbqnAod0mQAIg

You will also need to buy bushings for them.
