2wd 96 xj sport
So ive got my 2wd Jeep cherokee xj sport and im wanting to do some mega work. Not going to sell it and buy a 4wd because converting it will be a later job i want to do. So my question is what is the best way to go about get a 4-5inch lift for my jeep?

Its rubbing on the LCA at full flex? Are you sure its rubbing the LCA...ive never heard of the LCA getting in the way when flexing? you sure it's not just hitting your fenders?
Someone correct me if i'm wrong, i've just never heard of the LCA being rubbed....now i know it rubs on some rigs when turning, if to big of tires and to little of lift.

Sorry, it is rubbing on the lca at full turn to the right only. What about wheel spacers, is it worth researching?
Thanks

Do rims instead. Cost about the same. And u can push it out a good inch or more. Spacers put more strain on ur jeep.

Right now im sitting on a 2 inch spacer and 2 inch shackle, and I want more. Im looking to get around 4 inches. Should I:
1) get grand Cherokee v8 coils up front and bastard pack the rear or
2) get 3 inch coils and pack the rear.
And whats going to be needed with each lift?
Do I need to extend brake lines or just relocate them?
Will a Tcase drop and a Manuel XJ cross member be good enough to get rid of vibes?
At what height do I need to relocate the track bar?
