Default Cheap lift for a 93

Sorry if this is an overpost i tried a search and didnt find anything so here it goes... my Brother in law has a 93 Grand cherokee with the 4.0l. he is looking to lift it about 2 inches for as cheap as possible. i dont know a whole lot about the grand cherokees so i was turning to the pros. whats the easiest way to get 2 inches all the way around? i gave him my old spacer lift from the front of my xj so i have half of it there. i was wondering if my stock front coils would give the rear of his rig the 2 inches with out doing spacers? is there any cheap junk yard springs that would lift it about 2 inches without compromising ride comfort very much? thanks guys

Just do the spacers all around so you keep the stock ride

Much better if you can find some cheap 2 inches aftermarket lifts...
This will give you smoother ride than spacers provide...

You can get Up-Country springs and install them. They will lift it between 1"-2"s. If you can't find them in a JY, they are surprisingly cheap at the dealer. Check out this write-up with part #s and prices. http://www.geocities.com/frankieroti/UpCountinstall.htm
