Default More lift?

I have an old man emu suspension on my 01' XJ. My question is, is there any way to add more lift on top of that suspension? Without actually having to change out the springs, leafs, shocks, etc that came with that kit. If so, how?

Doesn't really matter theyr all basically the same but you will prob need new shocks or bpes to go with it though and you will also run the risk of messing up your drive line angles (if you don't already have a sye or tcase drop or whatever).

what if you already have a tcase drop? how does that effect things? im in the same boat, curently at 3" but would like to go higher to fit 32/33s (dont really want to trim) I know I need BPE, Shackles, spacers, extented brake lines, control arm drop brackets, or lower controle arms. dont mean to thread jack but its along the same lines

If you wheel it your going to want a new track bar longer shocks SYE (t case drops are horrible for you motor mounts which are already weak) brake lines. Its not as simple as adding Spacers and shackles.

Knew I was forgetting something. I agree with everything but the uca. They are stock length up till 4.5.

go with control arm drop, just lower arms will affect pinion angle
