Spacers vs. Lift Kit
So, this is going to be a noob question.
When you jack up a ZJ with a jack it lifts the body up before lifting the tire off the ground. Do they make "spacers" that are cheaper then lift kits to put by all 4 wheels to accomadate for larger tires? Any advice?

Yes, there are spacers available to lift a ZJ, but I don't recommend going more than three inches of lift with them. Google "ZJ spacers" and you will see a bunch of different brands.

Im a poor kid at the moment, only looking for temp. parts. The only reason I wouldnt be lifting it at this moment to accomadate the 32's is that I dont have the money. I would wait but my tires are getting bald and I would rather spend an extra few hundred then to do it twice. Do they just sit on the springs or what?

Everything stays the same if your only going with 2in. spacers, i believe its 3in. or higher where you have to start messing with other stuff and check out ebay might find something good on there
