Thanks, so what should I do have the down stream egr tube fabed? Or pull one from a junk yard? Any other advice?

 

Hey all, So heres my thought. I have a 4.5 lift, looks like shackles and a add a leaf in the back. I want 6.5. So I am planning on putting a 2 inch coil spacer up front and a 2 inch add a leaf in the back. Seems the simplest and the cheapest too me. My main question is will the brake lines be okay? I have shocks. So let my know your thoughts/opinions, thanks fellow jeepers!

 

6.5" on AAL....................???????????

 

why not? I am not gonna pay 900 dollars for a 6.5 lift when I only paid 1000 bucks for the jeep.

 

Stacking aal will not work.

 

How about these http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.co...ducts_id=87000 with shackles to add an extra 1.5"? I don't know if that is outta ur budget or not though.

 

Yeah thats pushing it. leafs and shackels looking at 315 bucks. probably more then im looking to spend on that. Just outta curiosity why wont the aal works? my brother had a cherokee a while back and he had four or five leafs in his rear. Ive got three in there right now

 

One of the benefits to XJs instead of Wranglers is that they're so cheap to buy. They're cheap to lift, too, if you compare. If you want a 6.5" lift, you're either gonna spend some money or do a lot of work on a bastard pack and shackles.

x2

 

haha if i really wanted to spend the money id buy a diesel 2500 ram and lift it. cost bout the same to lift em. ive compared because ive considered selling the xj for a truck a few times.

 

I think ill just try the add a leafs. less then a hundred bucks to bump me up to 6.5, and i can finally run the 35's

 

Just do 6" blocks. That would be the cheapest route and you don't even need AALs.

 

6" blocks? That's a scary thought...

 

x2 it'd be cheap but boy I think id be scared to hit any potholes in a road nevertheless take it out on the trail!

 

has any one ran in to this problem?

2ed gear pops out when i let off the gas.
the tran has been all redone new gears and new synchro. the guy i got the jeep from did the first rebuild on it and did not do it right so i took it to a shop and they went over every thing and fixed what needed to be fix and he said the synchros were good and gears were good.

the tran is a ax15 5speed thanx for the help

 

i bought pro comp 2.5" lift leafs for $200 but they came in at 4" of lift over stock at the frame rail. i called the manufacturer and they said yeah they come in at 4" and settle to 3.5". Mine havent settled at all in almost 5,000 miles. Those with a nice set of shackles is a 6" lift for less than $300
