Hello I am very new to the xj world and have a few dumb questions. First off let me say I want to put a 2 inch lift on my 2001 xj but don't have much money. I have been checking out budget boosts but don't know what all those entail? And also how much would a basic suspension lift cost me? Thanks in advance. Hope to be hearing some good answers from people way more knowledgeable that me! Thanks!

If you keep your eyes open, you can piece together a budget boost cheap. I scored 2" spacers, shackles and a set of take off JK Rubicon shocks for under $50 for all.

Does a budget boost require anything more than the spacers? And also does it change the way my xj will ride?

jbsjunk

You may be able to get by using the current shocks but longer ones are recommended. The track bar can go where it came from. It shouldn't ride any different than it does now.

How much will new shocks run? Front and back?

Atmos

I'm trying to tell you. click around on this site
you can find cheaper stuff but this will give you a general idea about everything. do some research

They have some lift shackles at autozone part number ends is -4100 or something they are like 40 bucks and you can get coil spacers online for like 30 from fatbobsgarage.com

I am looking at a teraflex 2 inch BB an keep hearing about longer shocks and extended bumpstops. Do I need these and if I dont replace them what will happen to my ride?

Nperryman

Yes, you will need new shocks, bumpstops will probably need to be replaced, but not sure with that much of lift.

Supahcheese

I will need new shocks but not coils for a two inch BB. Correct?

I'm running a Rusty's Offroad 2" lift spacers and shackles stock shackles and have not noticed any major difference in the ride. prolly cuz the spacers and shackles provide the lift without changing the spring rates

Nperryman

Yes. You will just need 2" coil spacers and 2" shackles for the rear. Or you could pay a lot of money and buy a nice old man emu 2" lift kit. But the most affordable is the budget boost

xjdave95

oh and Rusty's 2" lift is $100
