Default Lift Kit

Alright to start off I am sorry if this is in the wrong place, I looked over the site to see where i should put this thread and this looked like the best one.

But to start off I want to get a two inch lift kit and nothing bigger. I am looking for a good quality lift that I can buy and so far the only one that I have found is a Rusty's. By the way this is for a 96 Cherokee.

From what I heard Rustys customer service sucks. But you should check out old man emu 2" lift or Rubicon express.

I just installed a rough country 2" with coil spacers and shackle and only gain bout 1-1 1/2" max. I think I paid 88 shipped but I already want to go bigger cause it almost seemed pointless to gain so little

If you're doing it on a DD get quality 2" full packs and 2" springs. As suggested I'd go with Old Man EMU, the ride quality is great though they're expensive. Wouldn't bother with shocks unless your current ones are worn and need to be replaced anyway.
