BB on 01 XJ
Hello ladys and gents, Finally decided to put a lift on my dd, looking for about 2 inches of lift overall, back has a little sag in it, not sure if that matters, any suggestions, what works, what doesnt? just put new shocks on not long ago, so not really looking to replace them, any help is welcome, links are apreciated, looking to keep it cheap as always as I am a broke college kid, just looking to get a better look and some more fun out of an allready great vehicle. I dont have many pics yet, as I am not home to take pics of it yet, will take some as soon as I get home.

Zone offroad has a nice budget boost. Good stuff at a reasonable price, under $300.00 with shocks. It is an add-a-leaf but they use a lower spring rate in a longer leaf. Which allows better flex and less breakdown like you see in other AALs.

Cheap AALs will not just sag they may break. My Skyjacker one did. You may want to look at "bastard pak" leafs. There is a how to some where on here.

Well I just got home from my aunts in NYC today, so I got in my XJ went to get some grocerys, played in the snow with it for a little bit, had dinner, and ordered my lift, a 2" from rough country, cant wait for it to get here, but will most likely have to wait to put it on, at least until i shovel out my grandfathers garage, wouldnt be too fun to try to put it on in negative temps and a few feet of snow, get some pics of it tomorrow.
