i did a block lift in the back which i know is bad but it was only 35$ for 3 inches and i couldnt really pass that up....but in the front i ordered rustys 3 inch lift coils and i am putting them on today.....is there any advice anyone can give me or maybe any parts im gona need......i plan on doing longer brake lines in the back but the front i have plenty of slack and i had an explorer that i bought brand new shocks for and all the mounts look the same and they are alot longer has anyone ever tryed this or am i just completely wasting my time? any advice would be appreciated

I'm going to say to not waste your time fooling with it man. Save your money and do it right the first time.

Gee oh Dee

For $34 you could have gone with the "chevy lowering shakles" from ANY parts store and gotten the 3" lift in the rear with those.

thats what i did i went to advance and bought a lift or lowering kit for 35$ and put in in the back ....and right now im waiting for my 3 inch front coils to get here.....i was just curious to see if i had to change anything like sway bar links or steering drop thing lol not sure what its called just know what it is........im new to jeeps i just bought this one a week ago completely stock its a 95 two door 5speed 2x4 for 500$

Gee oh Dee

You said 'block lift' not shakle lift. Which is it?

95xj3inch

Oh yeah sorry i misread what you said...i did a block not shackle its only temporary

odgreen

Yea the safer shackles are 4$ more....

Ill take that advice....but will i need to get anything for the front if im going up 3 inches? Brake lines are good but i dont know about everything else

Your prob gonna need sway bar drops, longer shocks, and your LCA's are gonna be at a pretty crazy angle

And how much lift do you get with the shackles?

mattphillips90

im not really sure about that, i've never been told to use them for more than 1.5 in but im prob wrong

You won't need anything for the front after a 3in lift except longer shocks.

All you need in the rear is longer brake line.

if you have a NP231 Tcase you will need to do something with the t-case for vibes but I assume since you are going cheap with blocks you will prolly just look at drop brakcets for the X-member then too.


Blocks suck you should have saved the 35 bucks and waited. Everyone wants to get in a big hurry. Do it right first time then you never have to worry.

Search budget boosts and stuff like that. You can make bastard packs for the rear pretty cheap. And that is even a lot better than blocks.

Also this doesn't qualify for a Jeep build moving this thread to Cherokee Chat.

Builds are what you are doing not opinions on what you should do.

Plus we love pics on build threads.

Your right next pay check is probaly just gona go towards 3 inch lift leaf springs and down the road i wana do the adjustable control arms

XJ Stryker

had my 3 in lift on for 4 years now and still don't have adj control arms. Once I go to 4.5 that will be the mod for me. Save your money on that and buy skids. You will need protection under neath. Rock rails. T-case skid.

for a 3in lift adj control arms are a waste of money.
