Im just starting out with moding my jeep ive had it for about two years its my first ever vehicle. So on to the lift im debating on doing eather a two inch coil in front and two inch shackel in back or coil spacer in front and shackel in back im just starting of small for now. Thanks for the help

What about 2" coils and 2" leaf springs in back? You can always add a shackle to the leafs for more lift later...check out Old Man Emu leafs...

If you think its going to stay at 2" do the coils now. If you think in a year you might be inclined to bump up to 3"+ then do the spacers and toss 'em when you bump up to the taller coils...

Ive tought about that just trying to stay cheep. Im on a highschool kids budget lol

Then spacers & shackles. Build it up as you get the cash.

Easiest and cheapest option may be 2" coil spacer in front and 2" add a leaf or bastard pack in rear.

Thanks everyone ill probly go with a texraflex budget boost (spacers and shackels) ive read some pretty good things about it sound like a good plan to everyone?

May want to try and find some new shocks too..,

baseballbaker

Thought most people didnt need to switch shocks with just a two inch lift

Gee oh Dee

If it were me I'd find used poly spacers and get those "chevy lowering shakles" for like $35 at any parts store.

Like $85 for a 2" lift....

baseballbaker

Great idea nice and cheep I like the way ya think

Go ahead and use stock shocks.. but dont wonder ask later why they will be shot. lifting 2 inches is taking an additional 2 inches of the travel away from them.. and they dont have much to begin with.

Gee oh Dee

My wife's TJ has been on stockers with a 2" lift and its been fine for awhile.

Your not maxing out shocks all the time.

Nothing wring with running stockers for a while til you got the cash.

Yea, not that its horrible..but it will have an affect over time.

If its a pavement pounder then its itll be fine for a lot longer.

We dont have any trails around here so its maanly highway or grave/dirt road that it sees but were also thinking about doing the same lift to my moms jeep witch she uses for the mail rought 150 miles of back roads everyday so we would probly do shocks on hers and wait on mine for a while. Were a jeep faimily have 3 xj's right now and always looking for another
