Default Adding lift to lift

Im a newbie to this forum to start out. I have a 3 inch rough country on my 92 ( Coils, and Add a leaf and shocks). I am taking it off this jeep and putting it on the 98. Question is can i add one of the 1.75 lifts to it? ( Coil spacers and Shackles). What other mods will i have to do to make this happen. I was already planning on a tranfer case drop and adjustalbe track bar.

i went from a 3 inch to a 4.5 inch lift and i did switch trac bars but i didnt do a tcase drop because you will lose any clearance gained by lifting it any more and i dont have any bad vibes or angles

In the process of this same thing!! I got spacers and I'm doing a new bastard pack. You will also need extended brakes lines, sway bar links, track bar, shocks, possibly a drop pitman arm, and maybe a t case drop.

Most of the newer xjs don't take to lifts as well as the old ones. A tcase drop is one way to do it but I might set some money aside for a sye and cv drive shaft just in case
