I would contact them to make sure they are full length leafs before you buy it though. If they aren't you can get the coil spacers for dirt cheap and purchase the full length add a leafs separately. There's plenty of threads about lifts. Mine's got a 2 inch but also has a saggy ****. Let me go dig up the Lift/Tire Setup thread for you.

 

Here ya go https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f59/xj...ad-260/index3/ Posts 34, 40, and 42 should give you an idea of how it will look. There's plenty of great pics in that thread. Just take a look through em.

link doesnt work anymore... but its just a budget lift... aal's and spacers... lots of people run them...

 

I saw the link did not work anymore however everytime I copy the link from the working page, its fine. IDK

Anyways, i copied the info from the link on EBAY, and it states that for the 3" spacers and the AAL's its 89 bucks, however they state that "longer shocks are recomended".... RECOMENDED, or necessary....?

The 2" same kit is 69 bucks and no word of recomending longer shocks...

Tell me , tell me, Im freakin ready to order something!!!!!

 

if it stays on the street and you dont go offroad you probly wont need the shocks... 2in to 3in is only a 1in difference in shock length... i would buy the 3in and install... then decide if you need shocks...

 

Awesome, thats what I figured. the idea is to have the off road look, not to actually go off road.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

 

Also, if you find you do need new shocks, you can use ZJ Upcountry shocks because they were 2 inches higher from factory. Here's a great link for a homebrew budget boost http://www.rocklizardfabrications.co...dget_boost.htm . The information about shocks that are longer than stock XJ shocks is on the bottom written in red.

 

Awesome, thats some great info. However if I understand right, Im not in a bad place just winging it without the longer shocks just to start, and if I have issues, THEN I can upgrade... right..?

 

Yea, it shouldn't be a problem if it doesn't see any offroading. If it's gonna be a pavement princess then there's not gonna be any extreme stress on the shocks, so it's no big deal as long as your not flexing it out at the mall parking on curbs. Also, for the front you can get shock extensions for real cheap at Autozone http://www.lunghd.com/Tech_Articles/...Extensions.htm .

 

Allow me to chime! Miss Popo posted that she was short, just how short? If she's 5'6" or shorter a 3" lift and 31's is going to make it a chore for her to get in and out of especially if she's wearing a dress and heels. Mines at 3" with 31" and its just about right for myself 6'4" and my son 6'1", Getting the Jeep back to stock ride height and dressing it with some meaty 30" tires might be a better route. They do awesome in the snow at stock height as long as you have decent tires. You can lift it later if she decides she'd like to and you have'nt dumped any unnecesary dough into it. I'll attach a couple pics of Miss Moneypenny, at stock with 30"s and at 3" with 31"s to hopefully give you some reference.

 

Or if it becomes a problem with Miss Popo getting in and out, you can always get a set of step bars.
