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. Go with the shackles or add a leaf??? thanks for any input

 

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.

 

Thanks guys that sound like the one for me. i only want to do it Right! Once!

 

Another vote for RC.
