Default Lift kit

Does anyone know of a complete lift kit that has everything included in it for a good value? I still need mine to be a daily driver but I want a 3-4" lift so that I can put puck spacers and a shackle lift and get 5-6" to fit 33s. Keep in mind I'm 16 going on 17 with a part time job. All forms of help are appreciated.

you need to do a lot of research and it is going to cost ALOT to do that "right" you're looking at long arms, shackle relocators, leaf springs, coil springs, shocks, sye, driveshaft, tires, regear, brake lines, sway bar disconnects, steering, track bar, and more that I'm forgetting, and that will break when you're working on it

It's funny how much misinformation there is on here. You can do that without having to buy all that. You should and will eventually need to but not required all at once. You can relocate your front brake lines and will be long enough for a 6" Lift. You can shim your rear axle or do a hack n tap with a xj front drive shaft. Track bar can be left alone too but your axle will set off to the drivers side. Point is 90% of people on here cant afford all the right stuff right now but you can certainly lift your rig with springs and shocks then slowly buy the rest. Won't ride the best or be done right but works hair fine. I started my jeep like this and it went everywhere and was plentybsafe and reliable. And that was 5" of lift with 35s.

I agree do it right but you can buy things as you go and be just fine

The other thing about doing it that way is you can buy better parts as you go instead of a kit with okay parts. For example.
I have front Rubicon express coils. $80 on Amazon. And old man emu leafs $265 on Amazon. Great riding springs and cheaper than a full kit. Now I can add nice shocks and relocators to it for a great ride while I save or just build a long arm kit instead of buying a 3 inch rough country lift to just replace it all with better parts down the road

Here you go a base kit with what you need to increase to a 4 1/2-5" lift.


Rustys Off Road 3" full leaf/coil, shock pkg. this is the same kit I am currently running for a 4 1/2" lift. using shackles and ACOS spacers. $479 for the kit and you will need an adj. track bar also.

Anytime you increase the height over 3" the costs increases quite a bit with the extra parts required like shocks, ext brake lines, SYE, driveshaft, U/LCA's and so the list goes on with the $$$$$.
