whats the cheapest way to lift a 90 xj either 3 inches or 4.5 . im new to this and not sure what im getting into to.

 

absolute cheapest? probably some V8 tbird coils up front and a bastard pack in the rear

unless, you want to go the lift block and coil spacer route.

 

How many inches of lift will the coils from a V8 Thunderbird give you and what year T Bird coils?

how bout for new parts actually for cherokee's. like if i put lift blocks in the back do i need anything else and how bout for the front

 

I put 3in blocks on my old jeep and 3in isolators in front and that was it but I only dd it so to do that and offroad it I dono

 

What brand do you guys reccomend for a 2 inch lift kit?

 

i have a 99 xj with 245/75/16 can i go any bigger and not rub to bad i would put 1/4" wheel spacers just for a lil more clearance on lca's

 

I'm just curious to what the response would be, because I'm getting more and more into my jeep everyday. And I know that maybe somewhere in the forum it's been said but, this isn't just about the lift and tires... I want to run a 8" Rustys kit with 35" tires (or larger) but have no idea what axles/gears would be better than the dana 35 that's on my jeep now. If I need to post this as a different thread lemme know, I just been noticing around the forum that if you're gonna run bigger anything you'll need to build the whole thing stronger to compensate for the stress. So what would I use for what size lift and tire combo? Just out of curiousity...of course

Also, if you can go into deep detail about this please PM me, I really want to know what I'll have to do in the future.

Of course this all depends on how and where you wheel, but with 35's I'd say a 8.8 in the rear with 4.88 gears.

 

i have a 3 inch lift what all do i need to go up to 4.5? i would go with 1.5inch shackles and spacers. I know i need trackbar, lower control arms, sway bar links, t case drop, possibly shims.. anything else? how much do you think i could do this for?

 

I went with rough country. 2" spacers front and AAL rear. Ebay new for 60$. Cant beat that! 3 hours later = 2 inches higher. No special tools needed nor used.

 

I would go 4.56s if its an auto..and correct at least d44...or 8.8...beings 8.8 is stronger than the 44...and I'd swipe the d30 up front for prolly a 44...

 

Need to extend those brake lines to....and new shocks...but its not all that expensive to do..u can prolly find most of the stuff u need on here man...also...I'm assuming u have aals in the back...shouldn't be to bad with 1.5" shackles but I know with my 2-2.5 shackles the main leaf isn't supported to well and I'm gonna throw in some Bastard leafs ti help....to avoid inverting the leafs....but yea man all in all not to much....hope this helps a lil..

 

I went with the RC 2" shackle/spacer lift. This is what it looked like when I finished it last week. $90 off of ebay.
