I bought this 97 xj 4.0 2wd about a month ago for a daily driver well i hate the look of a stock jeep so im looking to lift it.

My plans are a 3-4.5 inch lift that im going to try to piece together for cheap.

Possible 4x4 conversion or just a locker.

A stinger bumper because it builds character.

heres a few pics

I don't know from experience, but from what I've read you'd be better off just buying a 4wd. Good luck with everything, and lets see some more pics!

So i was in class the other day and I pulled in the jeep so i could check it out because it was wayyy to cold outside and found that it needed a new steering damper and swaybar bracket bushings so i ran to autozone and fixed that.

Lift?! You dont need no stinkin' lift! Heres mine, trimmed fenders, stock height, no sway bars and 31" Bighorns... Fawker' flexes like a hooker doped up on muscle relaxers..

if you don't know what i mean check this forum out http://www.naxja.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=230

its basically lifted jeep+ high speed= cream in your pants. or a load of **** haha i think it depends if you have death wobble or not

x91j

haha! my jeeps got *****. ya i think im leaving it 2wd but if i get the chance ill convert it!

haha hey at least you wont need a t-case drop or SYE with your lift lol.....gotta look on the bright side

but if (when) you convert it i'd say pick up a rust bucket/ slightly wrecked clunker that has the drive train parts you need for the swap.....beats making 40 runs to the pick-n-pull to get what you need

x91j

that was the plan. and iknow thats what i liek about the 2wd is that the ds is longer and no tcase lol

x91j

Gettin jk shocks tomorrow. Now all I need is the zj coils and ill be ready to lift it.
