I've got a very low budget, and I'm lookin for a 4 inch suspension lift for a '92 xj. Anyone have any insight?

for about $500 you can get a rough country 4.5" lift. thats about the best i know if you wanna go 4 inches.

besides what they have already told you. used is the only cheaper way. i know someone selling a 3 inch lift for 300. it is front springs rear springs. 4 shocks and track bar. brand new about 600.

then if 3 isnt tall enough buy 1 inch shackles used for 50ish and buy spacer for front used about 50ish. total about 400.

might as well wait and but a rough country kit new.

but if 3 is good then PM me i will give you the info you need.

also 3inchs with moderate trimming will clear 33s with minor rub at full articulation.

2" budget lift and fender trim. $100 done. Don't buy used shackle $50 or used spacer $50, you can get new ones for that price. Also if you need help trimming, let me know, it would take me like an hour.
