I've had 98 XJ for a few years, I replaced both front and rear shocks in 2015. The rear end has been visibly lower than the front the last year (a common problem I've noticed). I planned to just replace the leaf springs but I've always wanted to add a 1.5" or 2" lift but have never gotten around to it. I'm curious how much extra work and money it would be to add a small lift while I'm already replacing the leaf springs anyways as well as whether it's worth it to buy a packaged 1.5" lift kit or just do a budget lift. I do a mild amount of off-roading but mostly a daily driver. Any advice helps, thanks!

Just do new springs and longer shackles in the rear and coil spacers up front.

This is kinda what I'm looking at, just replacing my current leaf packs and could with Crown Upcountry ones for the ~1 inch factory lift.
Some say it's more like 1.75 inches so I guess it could end up anywhere between just under one inch to almost two inches.

I installed the standard Dorman's. Happy with the product and the quality.
They gave me about 2 inches over factory, but with 1,000 miles they have settled to about 1.5 inches.

I wonder about the quality of the Doorman's vs Crown's?
I wouldnt be surprised if they are the same packs.
