I've got roughly about 2500 to spend on a lift. I've just had lots of friends with suspension lifts on their XJ's say they never drive the same again once it's been on there a long time and that it can mess with the gas Milage. I'll check out some suspension lifts though
There's a thread called "all lift and tire questions go here" go read in there for a few hours and all your questions will be answered...

are you going to off road it?
how tall?
what size tires?
you can get a premium lift for $2500. but you'll still need to buy shocks and an SYE etc.

I'm thinking about. 2-3 inch lift and it's got stock wheels and tires on it. I was wanting to get it lifted and then put some BF Goodrich's on it on stock width wheel just taller. I've always like the taller skinner looking tire. But I was wanting to get the lift and then have the tires and wheels changed to fit it after. I just can't decide between a 2 or a 3. I mainly want to use it as a daily driver with the occasional easy off road. It definitely needs new shocks!
run an Old Man Emu lift for sure. best ride quality out there and I think it's only what like $1000?

You know he thinks he has a bada%$ offroad truck. He would laugh at our Jeeps and tell you their pieces of crap. Theres like a million of lifted Avalanches, Tahoes and Rams all on black Rockstar rims and mud tires with huge lifts by where I live. And only the coolest guys with spiked up hair drive those and they would not even have a conversation with an idiot like me who only lifted his Jeep 4inches and has dents in his fenders.

I have a 3" rough country lift on 31" bfgoodrich all-terrains. And I want it taller. I was thinking of adding about 2" of pucks to it. How hard are pucks to install and where can I get them? And how much would it cost me? Oh and I go offroading a lot and this is my daily driver.
