Default Needing a little More height

I I have a '96 Cherokee, 3" of lift in the front and 3.5" in the rear. Just got new tires 265/75/r16 and am in need of a little more room. Just curious as to what I might need to do relatively inexpensively to gain another 2" of room.

What is your current lift consist of? You could do lift shackles and coil spacers. I'm looking into shackle relocation brackets that also provide around an inch of lift, depending on how you set them up.

Adj uca lca longer shocks brake lines prob sye and diove shaft adj track bar. Either a coil spacer or longer coils 2" shackle or new packs in the rear

If don't ha e recovery I'd say get that before bigger lift. You can fit 33s on a 3" lift with some trimming and bump stops

As oh right now my lift consists of the usual for a 3" kit. Coils, add a leafs which I replaced with 3.5" leafs sway bar links and what not. But I was thinking shackles in the rear but am somewhat lost as to what all would need to be done up front.

Daystar sells a shackle/coil spacer combo for about $150 online. Found mine on eBay for $100
