i just got another jeep (1999 xj sport 4 door) and im looking to do a lift, i want to lift it so i can fit 33 inch tall tires the cheapest way possible, supposdly it already has a 3 inch lift on it but i dont think it is that much. if it is it is just a spacer and a lift block

Break out the sawzall. Without cutting you'll need at least 5-6" and that won't be cheap. We put 33s on my brothers with 3" and a decent bit of cutting.

Flex This

Center of wheel stock measurment is 18" my brother has 35" boggers on a 4" lift. Im runing 33" on 5" lift bastard pack with bocks in rear and 6" tj springs up front have $250 in lift and tires

It's got the BB. You can measure to know for sure. Prob a 2-3" kit. Either way, cheap is not going to ride as well or last as long as new and more expensive. A bastard pack for rear leafs and coils from like a F-150 (use the search feature, plenty of good write-ups).
With some trimming and proper bump stops you can run 33's on like 2.5-3". Like I said, you can do this with proper bump stops. Search "low COG suspension setup tips/tricks"

Im running 33's with a 4.5" lift. I ran it that way for about 1.5 years untill I finally just trimmed when I installed bushwaker flat flares... but it was fine before I trimmed it would only rub at full stuff

wqell right now it has a rough couyntry lift, lift coils, add a leafs in the rear and shocks of course, i was wondering if i could just buy the 2 incg spacers for the front, and blocks in the rear? i said earlier it had spacers and blocks because i fifured it did, they way it road so rough

ive been out of the jeep =game for a while now, im used to ifs chevys lol

Easiest, cheapest, quickest and most stable way: Trim and bumpstop.

What tires were you running because when I was at 4.5" my MTZs rubbed on my flares on flat ground just turning and the first trip out ripped one off first time it flexed a little bit.

thats great, still doesnt answer my ?... im not cutting up a jeep thats in good shape

Im running BFG KM2's but I had plenty of room.. only would rub a bit at full stuff

Since don't want to cut it and fit 33s them need to go over 6" of lift. Once you go over the 4"+ lift when it's starts getting expensive. Need to start thinking adj control arms prefer long arms, adj tb sye and ds longer brake lines and shocks. It all adds up quick

Or could just do a 3" lift and bump stop it correct to fit the 33s. My friend runs 35 on a 3" lift with long arms trimmed no rubbing

well if i added lift blocks and coil spacers wouldnt that put me up to 5 inches? or would that require more mods

dogger15

It's just not as easy ad adding a spacer and a block. If you do that your jeep will drive like crap. Like I said in my previous post once get above 4"-4.5" on jeeps is when it starts getting expensive. With other mods needed.
