So im already itching to get my jeep higher so i can fit bigger tires. Is there an easy somewhat cheap effective way that can get my jeep to a 6.5" lift. I still want the flex i have if more. I dont have alot of money but when i have a goal in mind i work like an s.o.b towards it. Any info. thanks

acos in the front, longer shackle in the rear. plus a shackle relocating box adds an inch or so of lift so you would only need 1 more inch outa your shackle if you go those which is recomended. and then like I said, acos spacer up front.

I was thinking about this for the long run on my XJ, was thinking of a 1.5" coil spacer up front and a 1.5-2" shackle in the back

Don't need more lift for bigger tires. Bump stop. Longer shocks if you want more travel.

If you want to just run bigger tires extend your bumpstops and/or cut more. Really don't need to lift more. Be a lot more stable where you're at
