Default More lift

What's the best way to achieve around 5 in of lift. The kicker is I have a 3 inch rough country lift kit the basic kit. Looking to possibly just add on to the kit. Any suggestions would be great

You could use coil spring spacers (cheapest), buy springs with more lift (more expensive), add rear shackle relocation brackets (size varies and mildly expensive). Keep in mind you might need new shocks going to that height. And a SYE or driveshaft may be needed. So keep you pocketbook padded.

And control arms, Trac bar, brake lines, drag link?


You can add pucks to the front and shackle re locaters in the back, but if your going to do this right your front end will need some attention. 5" is a good amount on an xj.
