Lift question
I am only looking at doing a 2" to 2.5" lift. want a full leaf pack and new coils. what would be the best route for doing that. its a daily drive so i didnt want to tall but want to be able to fit 31"s under it.

... I wouldn't worry about dd.... I would always recommend 4.5 cause if you go 2 you're gonna want more. Mines a dd on 7.5.... the lift really isn't a big deal if its a quality lift. Imo you should just use spacers up front and aal in the rear, again imo you would be wasting your money buying full packs for only 2"

i would but my coils are shot and my leafs are worn out bad thats why i was just gonna get a new leaf pack. i have a friend with a xj on a 3.5" and thats pry as big as id go but i am really only looking to get a little more clearance and better look to the rig. not alot of trails where i live so it might not get used alot. if i got 4.5 .

if you are planning on going full leafs and new coils the you should just step up to 3" it's just hard to beat it for the price you will be hard pressed to find a 2-2.5" coil/leaf combo

I'd say go for 3" if you want 31s comfortably. At 2" or 2.5" you'll probably have to bumpstop some, and if you dare flex it out with 31s, you'll probably rip off your stock flares. If you don't mind doing some trimming, as well loosing the stock flares, go for it. .
