Default adding to a Rusty's 3 inch coils and springs?

I have a 01 XJ with a Rusty's 3 inch coils and full leafs with 30's and 1 inch transfer drop. looking to do budget lift to 4.5 or 5 inch. I only hit Silver Lake Sand dunes a few times a year.I was going to do shackles, coil extensions lower ca's and adj track bar and 33's. good enough?

Don't know where to start but I did the exact same thing using the same Rustys 3" lift and went to 4 1/2".


I run 33' tires also so 4.56 gears are required and lockers at the same time saves a lot of labor. Then you will need Adj U/LCA's, SYE, Driveshaft, Shocks, Brake lines, correct wheels, fender trimming, at least a ZJ V-8 tie rod setup, Boomerang Shackles, Adj Coil spacers and so on.


That extra 1 1/2" cost me about $4.5k done right.

You said it best. Done right. You can achieve the same for about a sixth of what you paid, but the experience will be about a sixth as enjoyable..
