Adding coil spacers to already lifted xj???
Ok so I have a 97 xj with the 3.5 RE super ride lift with 31s BFG. I'm now wantin to go higher but don't want to start over. I was goin to add 2 inch coil spacers in the front and shackles in the rear. I was going to buy this set up with an adjustable trac bar and a sye kit. Is there anything else I need to buy or should have concerns about?? And what's the biggest tire I could run without rubbing and triming? Thanks

I increased mine from 3 to 4 1/2" of lift using Adj. Coil Spacers and ! 1/2" Boomerang Shackles, its not cheap if done right and trimming is necessary to do the job properly for a larger tire to flex.
The list Duma posted is a start but I suggest Adj. U/LCA's, Dbl. Shear Adj. Track Bar, SYE, New Driveshaft, Shims, Ext. Brake Lines, New Shocks, Bump Stops, Tires/Wheels, New Gears (should do lockers at the same time), at least a mid 90's ZJ tie rod upgrade and the list goes on.
If you want to play higher than 3" you have to pay. I ran 33x12:50x15's with my 3" lift with trimming and now at 4 1/2" can run 35's easy no more trimming needed.
