Default What to buy

Ok so I have 100 dollars and want to spend it on my jeep. As of right now I am basically stock. There are 2 things I would like to get, but can only get one of them. They are:

A new magnaflow cat back from mudfrog
Or
A 2 inch lift

If I go with the 2 inch lift, should I go for the spacers and shackles (80 dollars) or the new coils and shackles (180 dollars, and save up the other 80)

If you have any other suggestions, feel free to add them too.
Thanks

Get the spacers dont waste money on 2 inch lift coils.or save up for a 3 inch lift from Rc and then get spacers later on and make it A 5 inch lift. Shocks may limit a little but hell its cheap

Just don't blow it on some stupid train horns like the last kid that had money burning a hole in his pocket. A 100 bucks is almost two tanks of gas that can be spent looking for a job.

I'd have to agree. I'd spend it on gas. Buy what you NEED, not just what looks fancy.

It's in the for sale section, under the vender section, and I believe the name of the thread is "new exhaust kits" or something like that.

Hey man if you're gonna be using it as a DD I'd go with the 2? shackles. They add an aggressive look without reaming your wallet.

Oh and btw I noticed you're from York. I'm from Lancaster so we should go wheelin' some time!
