||| budget 3" lift kit combined with fox shocks ? |||
Hello again
I'm searching for a budget 3" lift kit to combine it with the fox 2.0 series shocks
I did find 2 lift kits from rubicon express
What are the most necessary things I should add ??
The first one is : RE super ride - it costs about 400 $
The second one is : RE super flex - costs around 580$
I'm not sure what I shall buy to combine it the fox 2.0 shocks
Hope that you can give me some suggestions, my budget is around 500$

You're going to want new leaf springs, not add a leafs. This kit is under $500 and includes new leafs for the rear. http://www.rustysoffroad.com/jeep-su...-pack-kit.html

Yup, most lift kits don't really come with everything you need. Ideally you would want to replace all the suspension components so it all works properly. In the meantime you could just get the springs, then save up for control arms, track bar, etc...

Not all of that is needed, but you said "best". The best is not getting by, the best is everything you need plus all the bells and whistles you would want. Have you researched this thoroughly? Why Fox shocks and not Bilsteins? Give us some information and a budget. Because the best is not cheap.

Im still waiting for some one to say that it's ok to install the fox shocks in the car
Without needing all this
My car looks like this now
What are the most important things after changing the coil springs and leafs ??
Is it the control arm , disconnectes , break line or sway bar ??

I am sorry, i misread your title as "best" not "budget". If you are on a budget, why do you want a shock that is expensive and not as suggested as bilsteins which are cheaper? Shocks should come first out of what you wrote down, then brake lines, then disconnects, then arms.

The thing is that I rushed and all ready bought the fox shocks yesterday from quadratech ... I don't know what was I thinking!!!
I just thought that I could install the shocks in my car without needing A proper lift kit !
I'm not sure

Cool looking XJ man. One suggestion, I'd get rid of those hood spacers and get some vents or a cowl hood. If you ever hit anything head on, that hood will fly through your windshield and do bad things. And yeah, if the springs you have on there are too stiff, just get a spring pack lift with coils and leafs, and then add control arms, sway bar links, brake lines, and track bar later on. You're already lifted 3 inches anyway, so you know your XJ can deal with the height change. Also, what kind of shocks do you have on there right now?

You're right about the hood spacer. It is dangerous, but it really does cool the engine down, I will remove it soon
I will take your advice, and do it all step by step
My shocks now are the yellow nirto charger
