Stupid question really. Of course lift!! I know there is probably a million threads on this but I was hoping for some opinions on my situation.

I will soon be getting my 89xj back and want to add 3 inches. I don't wheel it and it is primarily going to be a pavement princess, just a daily driver for my daughter and i and occasionally heading up to bonfires and shooting.
What's the down side to a body lift as opposed to a suspension lift. I know it would be way cheaper!!
It has brand new Nexen all terrain tires that are 28s I believe. Adding a 3 inch body lift how much bigger of a tire would I need to go to so it wouldn't look goofy?

Thanks in advance for your input/opinions!!!

x's are a uni-body vehicle meaning the body and the frame are all one unit, that being said you cannot install a body lift on a xj.

You can't do a body lift on a xj...

Good to know. Lol
The only thing I know about jeeps is what I've learned on here. All my guy friends are busy working on their trucks before the mud season begins and I wanna work on mine also...I've got the bug

You could do coil spring spacers and add a leads in the back. That's cheap and with trimming you can fit 33s under there. My little brother has that set up and his jeep is a hoss.

A basic 3" lift would be pretty inexpensive

I found the above site and it sounds almost too good to be true. Would any of you do this to your jeep? Remember, it's a pavement princess.

martyinco

Do it man, like you said its a pavement princess

If its a dd then I wouldn't do that lift, get some spacers and shackles and some 31s if you want to do it cheap. If you want to do it rite then buy a three inch kit with coils and leafs, you will be more happy with a real lift kit instead of some janky junkyard lift.
