I was in autozone the other day and saw a 3in lift kit at for like 30 bucks. My buddy told me u could only lift up the back with the lift on my xj. What do y'all know bout these lifts and what do you think

Gee oh Dee

You'll have to post a pic of the lift kit they were selling, or give us a part number.

But I promise you its not gonna be that easy.

Its probably a 3" block, for front and rear. If so, I'm going to laugh.

It's probably some generic shackle system.

It would be a 3" lift block with u bolts for leaf springs. Your buddy is right you'd need something else for the front.

Gee oh Dee

What would that have to do with U bolts?

first off the generic shackle is pretty well known and works very well its sold under the belltech 6400 as a chevy lowering shackle

second off the kit he refers to is the set of blocks and they are alum garbage with ubolts made for bigger axles so they are more than worthless on an XJ. better off with the shackles.

Hell i've ran the "autozone/oriellys/advance 3in blocks on a bunch of xj's and minitrucks and never broke one. only thing is the rear leafs seem to sag more but bastard pack will help!

mine has 3in blocks in the back right now.

i tried to put some on a buddies xj years ago and the block usually has to be modified

That's them right there

JGary

Did u put them on the front to?

cdawall

Blocks are bad :/ a bastard pack would replace them and fix the whole issue of the blocks destroying your leafs.

You can't those blocks are for leafs they go in the back only.

JGary

What's a bastered pack?

Bastard pack is using the leafs/coils from an s10 a Dakota or a ranger...etc to give you a lift

Yeah ^ you just add the s10 leafs to your origional leaf pack and it will give you more lift but won't flex as well. Research some stuff in the junk yard lift thread.
