junkyard lift advice
I'm thinking about doing a 4.5" lift or higher but getting parts from the junkyard to do it. So what parts would I need from what vehicles to do this?
I have a 2000 XJ with a 3" RC lift

thats a good article. If you do a bunch of searching there are tons of write ups on junkyard lifts. My rear leaf pack consists of a 3in AAL with extra cherokee main leaf and 2in shackle and it rides great even with the AAL mine sits right around 6in

That is a great link! Lots of awesome info!
So since I already have a 3" lift, would I be able to add 2" coil spacers to the front and 2" lift shackles to the back?
If I did it that way would I need an sye kit and new driveshaft or could I get away with putting the rear able on a better angle?
