hey im looking at changing up the shocks and springs in my 1998 xj. i want to use bilstein shock but im not sure which ones to use. and does anyone know what else i need besides new springs and shocks up front and out back for a 2 inch lift? thanks for any help. im still pretty new at this.

 

it would be cheaper if u just bought a new lift if ur wanting to change out ur shocks and spring but id go with at least a 3" lift here check these out... http://roughcountry.com/jeep_xj_susp...lift_kits.html

 

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it

 

hey man im simi new to the whole thing myself but me and my dad put a 3" lift on my 1988 xj and i gotta get new shocks but im going to try and get zone shocks if i can and then i gotta do a few other things to it and im dont for now with it

 

Defanitly skip any kit with add a leaf, and look at other manufacturers other than rough country, haven't herd many good things good about them

 

myself i like RoughCountry when it comes to lifts and shocks i like tha RoughCountry N2.0 shocks witch r $50 each and the Bilstein 5100 series witch r $80 each

 

Yes I agree. I don't want an add a leaf in the rear. Any suggestions on who to go with. I'd prefer to get a kit without shocks so I can pick my own.

 

Roughcountry's old stuff was junk back bout 5 years ago now there alot better i havent had no problems out of mine and yes i do wheel it....alot

 

Thanks. I appreciate it. Gonna keep looking till I have the cash to buy all the new stuff

 

bilstien 5100s are great!!! but if you want a cooler looking shock or need the extra 2inches of length get the 5150s! both will ride the same if you get the 255/70 valving

 

Yeah I was looking into those as well. Definitely some great shocks.

 

Bilstein FTW!!
