okay first off i wanna say that i know i should put this in the lift question thread but i have and am not really getting answers. okay my question is what would be involved with lifting my jeep 2 more inches. i have a 3 inch zone lift (new front coils and aal in the back) i want to know absolutely everything that i would need to get the 2 inches and how much it would cost. THANKS.

2" spacers in the front
you can make them yourself... when I made mine I only spent $8 (still not using them yet)

as for the rear you should get a longer shackle... or build a bastard pack with s10 leafs

you will also need to at least drop the t case an inch and shim the rear axle and maybe new u joints

even then you might still end up needing to do a slip yoke eliminator kit and a new drive shaft to match

also brakes lines... you will need longer ones

track bar?

all put together how much do you think that would cost

ericfx1984

track bar between $100-200

coil spacers around $50 to $75, less than $15 if you make them yourself

shackles $25 to $150


if it was me

I would get a good double sheer track bar around $190 (I would make this myself too, for me it would be around $75)

coil spacers I would make myself so $15 or less

and shackles I would get from superior automotive (autozone, advance auto, o'reilly all have it) $30

so I would guess you would be looking at around $235

okay. yeah i have little to no fabricating skills so i probably wont be able to make it myself. also what do you think for an sye. do you think ill need one or will a transfer case drop work

@ 5" you're gunna need the sye. Rustys has one for around $200. or you can do a hack n' tap (around $100) but then you need a cv driveshaft. you can buy one, or get one from a jy, and have a shop extend it. lots of threads about that on here.

ericfx1984

it is on the edge... maybe you will maybe you won't 4" you most likely will not need one but you might, 4.5" it could go either way... 5" most likely you will need one but you might not...

however I needed to do a t case drop at only 3"

but you might be able to get away with by 1" t case drop (maybe even 1.25"), rear axle shims and a yj slip yoke...

Okay. I wouldn't do this for a while (probably after summer) but I just wanna know what I need so if I see anything I need I can buy it. So do you think I could get it done for $300-$400
