I need new suspension bad. Struts, springs, leafs, and the necessary bushings and other small replacement pieces.

I want to do a cheap 2" or 3" lift. I don't want the cheapest necessarily, just the best value per dollar as low as it can go before quality is sacrificed too much.


I was just going to get the Gabriel Ultra for $35/pc and kind of work from there, but I am sure that their are some nice kits around that I should be considering.

rustys 3" kits are a great deal. That's probably what I'll end up getting.

for shocks, look into using JK shocks, they're dirt cheap and ride pretty damn well!!! as far as springs you can run a bastard pack and shackle in the rear, and some small lift coils (like 1-2") and a spacer or 3" coils for the front. re drill the trackbar mount and you'll be good to go. or get an adjustable track bar, which is the better route

check out Zone offroad. great price for what you get and high quality as they are art of the BDS brand

All I can say is dont get blocks, It'll just sag back down with stock springs

Heavy duty rear springs off Quadratec and hockey pucks up front prolly give you two inches.

Most popular thing to do and probably the cheapest is to bastard pack the rear with another xj pack or a s10 pack then, maybe else some v8 gc coils and pucks

Diesel

BDS 3" for $549, comes with full leaf packs, 3" coils, transfer case drop, extended sway bar links, shocks all around, and a front track bar relocation bracket. Everything you need, not to mention CS is great and their no questions warranty.

Completely forgot about the shocks lol, my 3" completely killed all but one of mine

VTJeep

well... how much you wanna drop, and what driving are you doing? if cost isnt an issue, go with 4.5" long arm awesomeness, but otherwise, there are sme pretty good options already listed...

Hows this sound.

2" BDS Kit + leafs (stock fit) $580

2" Old Man Emu leaf + Gabriel Ultra struts + 2" spacers + stock springs $490. I can maybe forgo springs for a $410 total.

That BDS 2" kit + leafs right there is pretty much pushing what I'd like to spend. The 2" Old Man for $410 is very attractive.

Diesel

Should get about 3.5" of lift.
