I tried the jam nut method, and I didn't want to have to do any welding. I just offered the rusty's crosmember with the 1inch drop incorporated in it so I don't have to take them out. I have to deal with a broken bolt though one of the ones that actually goes in. I still have to figure out the pitman arm though.

EDIT: The only thing that really worries me, is spacers giving a harsh ride. So if I went with the Autozone shackles in the back, and then a 2" set of coil springs or shocks up front, which ones would be better? Remember, this is purely a cosmetic lift. I will almost NEVER be off of pavement. A set of coil springs is $99 + shipping, a set of shocks is $60

spacers will ride the same as what ever springs you have under them... if you keep your stock springs the jeep should feel stockish

I just can't justify spending $270 on a 2" lift, you know? If most of these 2" BBs consist of spacers and shackles anyways, why shouldn't I just spend $90 on a 2.5" spacer and shackle set i put together myself?

Its probably been asked, but since there are 200+ pages or replies here, I figured Id post a new question:
Ive got a 99 sitting stock on stock rims & tires. What I want to know is.....
I plan on lifting it 2 to 4.5 inches down the road. Id LIKE to get bigger tires now without ANY modifying (keeping my fenders, rims, etc.) but I dont know what I can fit for sure, what MIGHT rub and what would be good for my driving.
I do mostly around town driving on good, paved roads 30-50 miles a week. I drive on rough tar, good dirt another 100-200 miles a week. I drive 2,500 miles a year on the highway, for a total of about 10K a year. I drive in/on snow & ice (literally, the roads arent exactly "plowed" up here) for a solid 4 months.
Ive been running the Wrangler's (not sure if its the R/Ts or what) and theyre OK, but Id like a larger tire and more aggressive tread. However, if its a trade-off between city/highway and dirt, Ill stick with my Wranglers I guess.
Id like to go to a tire about 30" (Im sure a 21 will rub, right?) so am I being realistic or is there always a trade-off? Thanks!

Will F-150 coils lift a ZJ 3 inches? Or only an XJ? And if so what years will work?

I know it will be stiff as hell but it's just temporary. So they will work though?
