Default budget boost
I am getting ready to do a budget boost on my 89 Laredo I was wondering if I get the spacers and shackles if I do the Dakota add a leaf and front YJ springs if it will give me closer to a four inch lift instead of just the two inch with just the shackles and spacers.

Impossible to say,depends on the condition of your springs and the donor vehicle springs.I have bastard pack with. 11/2 shackles that got me to 5" but it took alot of experimenting

You'll have a hell of a time getting front YJ springs to fit on there!
