Cheapest way then would be to buy those $10 coil spacers at autozone that go in between the coil. Not the best and will probably fall out if you wheel/flex a lot. Other than that I think the only solution left is to get longer coils.

Wow, anyone ever heard of read everything before doing anything, like replying with a solution that he already has. The next thing I would do is better coils with a 3" lift or so. The other thing is just get a full lift kit.

thanks! right now thats what i have is 2 inch spacers and those 1 inch things from auto zone but it isn't enough... i think all i need is one more inch. yu know what the cheapest springs and shocks i can get are? if i get some 2 inch springs and new shocks and put the spacers in there ill have a total of about 4 inches instead of 2.

I did I quick search and the cheapest lift I could find with springs was 3.5" lift for $719 at http://www.rocky-offroad.com/wjtrailblazer.html
Edit: I looked more and found a 4" lift for $499.95 at http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep_wj_...lift_kits.html

Both items I stated were never mentioned in the original post. He said he had 2 inch coil spacers and asked what was the cheapest way to lift it more. Also he never once said he had 2 inch wheel spacers or the 1 inch "coil spacers" from autozone.

I was not tryin to be mean but when I first posted, everything I saw was either coil spacers or a new lift. I agree with the new lift but without knowing where he is rubbing, I don't know if wheel spacers would help.

you could try a nice coil spacer? maybe like 2"????
seriously... if money is an issue pick up a set of 3 in lift front coils and put them up front and move your front springs to the back... that should get you 3 inchs all around... i would remove your coil spacers so you dont *Overlift* it... ill be posting up hopefully this weekend, im hoping to do this to my ZJ and see how much i actually get out of it. and how it looks
