hey everyone, im new to jeepin, so i wanted to ask a question here and then move on with my plan. i want to put a lift on my xj, but only just enough to fit 30/9.50's without rubbing, cuz i still want decent mileage and road handling, so im thinkin probably a 2". which platform of lift do you suggest i go with, like spacer in front, shackles in back, spacer in front add-a-leaf in back, or one with new front springs and leaf's in back? im not sure what all is out there, i have only done a little shopping around, but any suggestions would be awesome and also, my jeep has only 60,000 miles, and they were easy miles at that (bought it from an elderly woman, 65-70, single owner) so do i need to get new shocks with the lift? and one other thing, on a previous post, someone mentioned that i may have a factory 1" lift and a 8.25 limited slip rear end, look at the pic i posted and tell me what you think, and how do i tell if it does have this? and if so, how will it affect the lift i will need to fit the 30/9.50 tires? thanks for any suggestions or opinions, im here to learn
