i've been thinking about putting 2" lift blocks on my 91 xj. is it a good or bad idea? i already have a 2" lift just want 2 more.

 

bad idea. i havnt heard anything good about blocks. what kind of lift do you got right now? shackles and spacers? aal and coils?

 

Lift blocks can pop off or shift. Much better ways of lifting.

It depends... 2" blocks won't hurt a thing if your jeep is primarily a daily driver. If it's strictly a trail rig, then I probably would not recommend them if you have larger than 31" tires. Although every once in a while you do hear about blocks breaking, etc, etc, but in the 15 years I have been installing lift kits, SAS's, etc... I have never had an issue with them...i think it's more which type of block you buy and how you install them! I do agree though that there are better ways to lift the rear end. But if you're on a tight budget, then go for it. Just my $.02!

 

If your gonna go blocks don't buy them from Vatozone or O'Reilly Auto Parrts they are extremely light and probably not a good idea. If you have an Advanced Auto Parts, they have some pretty beefy ones for the same price (31.99).

Edit: They also come with U-Bolts...sorry I forgot to mention that.

 

I have a mag with a full size Cherokee in it running fairly tall blocks. They rolled one.

I know its a much larger truck, and had much larger tires. But I felt it was worth mentioning.

 

of you can get a set of cast ones from with u bolts from Rusty's off road for cheaper.

I agree with JKS, there are better ways, the main reason on a cherokee they are frowned upon is that axle wrap is already bad without them and lift blocks makes is much worse
