My first Jeep, a 91 xj, (love it) and i am gonna have a few dollars from my tax return to throw at it and want to beef up the suspension. since i have an abundance of tires (recently scored on TWO full sets of 235 75r 15 BF ATs for super cheap) i dont want to go too big...yet...from what i read, two inches is a decent mild lift that will still make the tires useable. what is the best and cheapest way to do this?. i have heard of a bastard pack?...what/where/who?...my uncles a bastard, hes got a warm six pack of strohs..diferent deal?...seriously though. any help or pointers would be appreciated.

 

search the web... a warm six pack or stroh wont work..probly give you a belly ache! Ive read about dakota springs and zj coils with spacers... lots of options. but if you have some cash..look for a cheap 3" lift..rough country has reasonably priced products and many people are happy with what they get. Just remember...with a lift, the total cost isnt going to be just what the lift price is. you will encounter some parts that arent neccesarily included with "budget" lifts that need purchasing

 

I think you meant to say Rough Country. Ruff country is a different company. Or was it Tuff Country?

 

clearly it says rough country...... notice the edit

-Thanks

 

if you do get a lift and it comes with coils for the front end, your gonna need bigger spring clips because the stock ones wont fit the bigger coils. go to a dealer ship and you should be able to pick em up for 15 bucks for the pair

 

ok, good stuff. from what i am reading here it sounds like a kit would be a better way to go, instead of my bastard uncle..hehehe...

 

For a 2inch lift just do a budget boost, 2inch shackles and 2inch coil spacers.

 

true true

 

you might as well go bigger you will want to later lol

 

and will i need these for a budget lift?, where do i get said budget lift parts?..

 

Thanks everybody, after reading and asking, i have decided to go with the rough country 3" ...i have the cash, its all new stuff, complete kit, no rolling around in junkyard mud, no endless trips to the dealer for misc missing crap click buy, UPS brings a box, and up she goes..

 

and mentioning being a member of this forum got me 10% off!!
