Default cheap ways to lift 3 inches??

so i was wondering what i can do to lift my stock xj 3 inches...i have heard of f-150 coils, bronco coils, putting 3inch blocks uner my leafspring, etc...anyone have a cheap starter kit idea i dont want bronco coils because i hear they are way too stiff, dont have alot of money to blow on lift kits but at the same time dont want something unsafe or that will fall apart on me...any suggestions??

Stay away from blocks.

Ford coils will ride stupid stiff. Avoid thm as well.

You could jump into a bastard pack for the rear.

Or look up XJ Cherokee 3" lift on google.

and do a bastard pack for the rear
