I have recentlly became a Cherokee owner,and would like in put on the best combo of shocks and a 2" lift! I am looking at Rough Country.Not interested in any higher lift.How large of tires will the lift allow? Thanks, Willie

Old Man Emu is typically regarded as the best riding and performing 2" kit out there, might wanna take a look at them

Hell if 2 inches is all, then may e just a budget boost (BB) and new 2" longer shocks..?

Get the Rubicon Express 2in for 250$ it's bad ***! I went to the Rubicon and finished it on it! Best bang for a 2in cuz you get the aal, 2in pucks, and 4 shocked that are good for 2-3.5in lifts

CheapCherokee

he asked to find the "best" 2" lift, not necessarily the cheapest

auburn_XJ

Then rubicon express or rustys both got everything you need

But neither are close to the best

I'm looking for kinda the same thing but I've got a bad leaf so I'm looking for new leafs with a 2" lift without having to add a leaf myself to new springs.

auburn_XJ

Rustys has leafs and coils as an option I believe

Xj88

Rustys and rc are fine but not the best. Rustys does sell lift pieces individually.

auburn_XJ

Who do you think is best that has EVERYTHING including 2in coils, shocks, full leaf packs, and unbolted for every axle you can put under a XJ? That's everything and more than what most kits come with.

Btw im not dissing rustys or rc. I started with rustys (liked it) and im putting a rc lift on now. Im just saying old man emu makes the best 2 inch kit

I have 2" Old Man Emu spring packs on the back of mine (stay away from add-a-leaf) and they are really great. I just did 2" spacers up front. I live in Texas, which is mostly flat, and spend 98% of my time on paved roads. I may get coils for up front later, but right now the stance is right, the ride quality is right, the factory articulation is enough, and the price was within my budget.

As for tires... most 30" will fit without rubbing, not counting for any weird backspace issues on your rims. I'm running 235/75-15 Destination ATs on mine.

Lastly, start soaking your rear spring and shackle bolts with PB Blaster NOW! Like, every day for two weeks before you plan to do the swap.
