Ok I have been doing a lot more research on lifts. I am a kid in highschool so I do not have a lot of money to do an extravagant lift but would still like to do some. I think I have decided to put 30" tires on the jeep with a 2" lift kit that way I still have some offroad capabilities but keep my mpg closer to where it is currently at. The only problem I am running into is that 2" kits don't come with full leaf springs. I have seen some xj leaf springs at junkyard in excellent condition. The junk yard charges $17 a spring. The new springs I have seen seem to run $100 a pop. I drive the vehichle only about 30 miles a week average. Any suggestions? I might also consider the bastard pack too if it works decently. Thanks for all the help.
