I'm looking to buy a BB lift kit. I came across this kit from Fat Bob's Garage. I was wondering if any body have experience with this kit. Should i get shocks or buy my own shocks separately?

dont think shocks are need for that small of lift

 

They're my local off road shop. Good peeps down there. I have been very satisfied with the parts I've bought from them in the past. Here's a little secret, Fat Bob's shocks = Rough Country w/o stickers.

 

Who cares about the lift, I want to see a PILE of photos of that rat rod in your avatar, along with details!!!!!!!

 

So the 79 bucks is worth it? I suppose max tire size is 30 inch?

 

I would say the kit is well worth the money. I'm sure you could squeeze some 31's and only have minor rubbing at full lock.

 

i dont know about their xj stuff but i bought a zj bb w/out shocks from them and had great customer service and fast shipping!

 

Damn XJ and thier small wheel housing. I am more used to my WJ and can stuff a 31 with just 2 inch lift. I just want to make my XJ more appealing. Will be wheeled couple times tho.

 

I have the Fat Bob's 2" lift kit in my XJ (photo in my profile). I bought it on EBay. All pretty much fit, but I had to bore the front shock spacers to get them to slide over the bump stop - not a big deal, but shouldn't have been necessary. They might have just put the wrong ones in the box.

After the lift my track bar was over 1/4" - not enough to get too excited about I think, but I have had some bumpsteer issues (another thread).

 

I also bought this kit off eBay. Great little kit. I too had the same issue with the front spacers but a little force and it slid over the bump stop. I kinda like that because now I wont have to worry about it ever sliding off if I'm ever in a situation where the coil unseats.

Anyways, it's a good kit. I'm very happy with it. Good people and great service. Not one negative thing to say.

 

X2 on the fast shipping and quality of products!!

 

ordered from them also and they were great

 

Got my b.b. there as well, spacers and shackles, no shocks. Good service, fast shipping. No issus with installation.

I got fat bob's XJ budget boost kit. And Am Very Happy With It.
(2) 2" Shackles
(2) 2" Coil Spacers
(4) Shocks (Rough Country 8000s) (the ones ment for 3"-5" lift)

Install Instructions were straight forward and I was able to do it in 4 hours (we stopped for dinner) a buddy and with some hand tools.
I had No issues with with rusted bolts or bump stop clearance.

And Shipping was super fast. I think it was like 5 days after I paid on the dot the brown uniform came walking up to my house with it.
But Again, Im very satisfied.

Plus the best thing is when I add my new coils and bastard leaf packs I can still re-use everything.

Oh, And I should add Im running 31x10.5R15 with no trimming and only rub when I try and make hard turns, u-turns, or really big bumps.
