2 inch lift
First off Im not sure if this belongs in the Tech section, if not, i apologize.
I am looking to do a very small lift on the cherokee, probably only 2 inches.
I have searched for this quite a bit, but I am getting different opinions.
From what I understand, for a 2" lift, you need to get new shocks, or at least shock extenders?
Do most of the recommended spacer/shackle boost kits include the shock extensions or not?
I know some have poly spacers, are those better in the long run?
Thanks for your help ahead of time, please dont respond with "get a bigger lift"

A usual 2 BB is new shocks, front spacer, and rear shackle or add a leaf. I have a 2" from rubicon express and it seems to ride okay (need new shocks soon).

Should be in advanced tech. But you will need new shocks or bpe's...id recommend new coils and leaf packs instead of a shackle and spacer. If its just for looks and you don't care about performance a spacer and shackle will do...if you want top o the line go for the old man emu 2.5 lift!!!
