Default Best Budget Boost

I'm looking for a decent budget boost for my XJ. The 1.5 inch to 2 inch range. Anybody have good opinions to which one I should buy?

It's sort of hard to mess up a budget boost. Also depends what route you want to go. Quick and easy would be a set of coil spacers and rear shackles. Long way is new coils and new rear leafs. OME is the best when it comes to small lifts if your willing to pay. I wasn't. I would keep it simple and go with 1.5" coil spacers and leave the stock isolator so you gain 1.75"-2" depending on how worn your coils are and the rear I'd do the lift shackle. Some companies use lift shackles with two mounting holes so you an choose 1.5"-2" lift. And if you want to flex it a bit I'd look into a cheap set of new shocks so they have the correct travel.

Most budget boosts are just spacers and shackles, its hard to mess that up. Get it from whoever has the cheapest price imo

Do I have to worry about the death wobble with the spacers and shackles?

Death wobble is caused by worn out parts. If everything in the steering and suspension is in good shape, you won't get the wobble.
The only time I've ever had death wobble was when my Jeep was bone stock, due to a worn out track bar.
