2000 cherokee 4x4 installing some 265-75-15 tires. has been suggested to get a small lift or may no need one but will get one just in case a few options #1 fat bob kit 2' front -1.5-2" rear real shackles and front pucks four pro-comp shocks 190 plus shipping #2 fab bob 2" same as above but with leaf spring insted of rear shackles four pro-comp shocks $190 plus shipping. #3 2' front pucks with adj rear shackles NO shocks $80.00 plus shipping #1 shipping is 30 lbs from utah to east coast #2 is 34 lbs shipping to east coast #3 is 10Lbs shipping to east coast.. i can save $110 by not buy Fat bobs pro-comp shocks that $27.50 per shock if I can buy local no shipping.

If faced with just those options I would choose option #2.

#3 here. Mainly due to being able to re-use the shackles when you go larger and the pro-comp shocks are poopy.

I hate to mention this but jeep creepz has a 3" lift new front coil springs (No Pucks) add a leaf in rear and (4) hydro shocks $255.00 and $40.00 shipping... Total $$295.00 delivered! Now whats the best way to go? I think new coils are better that adding pucks to worn coil springs. and Add a leaf over shackles plus (4) Hydra shocks. Am I missing somethng besides my sanity!

Sounds like this:

I would go with roughy country and order directly from them becuase they have really good customer service, great warranty, and ship everything fast.

Yeah that is the same kit. I would go with that kit also. It is cost effective. I also don't like pucks with used coils. Cheaper isn't always a good thing, unless you are planning to go big real soon. If you go on ebay you can usually get the same kit, but with less shipping.
