Blocks in the rear are the worst way to go followed buy add a leafs, so ur best bet would be a longer shackle!

Most will say blocks are bad. I can agree to a certain degree. I can tell you right now I am running lift blocks put on by the previous owner, but I had blocks in the rear on my last xj before I could get new rear springs.
I wouldn't run blocks for a long time, but lift blocks are "cheapest" If you are going to run lift blocks please buy steel ones, the aluminum ones can crack over time.

If you do decide on going with lift blocks, I would suggest starting to save up for a 3" lift kit, Rough Country/Rusty's 3" kits are pretty reasonable, just my $.02

Oh yeah, thanks builtnotbought. Shackles would be better and are pretty much the same price.
