Want more lift. For less money.
 

-Hi guys, question for you.
I have a 3" lift on my xj right now, but I was wondering if could add another 1.5" in the front and rear. If this is possible do I have to add a SYE onto of my transfer case drop and 3 degree axle shims or will I be ok in just leaving the case drop and 3 degree shims on it and adding the inches?

it would be more than just an sye. you would need new shocks drop pitman arm, trac bar brake lines. just to "add" inches isnt the way to go i strongly suggest buyin all the right parts before you add more lift just sayin.

I love it when people say you need something. every jeep is different so its hard to say. I am at 5.5 in front and have stock steering setup on still(safe but could be better) I redrilled my stock trac bar location to recenter the front. Shocks i do recomend but there are ways around that as long as you dont mind limiting flex.

Oyeah i drive mine 300 miles a week when im working in town and 500+ when im out of town. does great

well its almost a year since i posted about adding more lift. So about 3 weeks ago I did. I added 1.5 coil spacers and 1.5 shackles in the rear. I also added some 3 degree shims and TC 1" drop. So as of today i have a total of 4.5" of lift.
no problems so far. I'm going to replace my pitman are with a one from a ZJ. It should give me about an 1" of drop for the steering angle.

Here are some pictures of what it looks like. First one is 3" and the second is 4.5".

Dude that is a beautiful jeep

Thanks OOdynamite.
I'm finishing up some fender flare paint job. I will post new pictures later this week.
