@Sota, There are many of us running ~2" lifts here, and a lot of discussion if you do a search.

Here are a few examples:

- RE 1.75" spacer from quadratec
- moog bushings and upper control arms from Rockauto
- Rustys adj trackbar, fixed lowers for 3" lift from rustys


the thing is dirks lifts take awhile to get to you, and his shipping cost in my opinion are a tad high. quadratec has free shipping and are located right in PA so I received everything with a couple days from them. same with rockauto, takes 3 days to get their parts. regardless I think compared to dirks prices I saved a couple hundred or more. the results of the lift are great, the rear has dropped a tad as its broken in- the pic below is prob within a week of install.


not knocking dirk as he definitely knows his stuff when it comes to the XJ and setting it up right, but theres ways to save a few sheckles and get the same results
Hello! I'm really liking the stance of your jeep ! So, what tires / wheels are you doing ? I was thinking of going with the ACOS up front, insread of a spacer? I figure if the rear starts to sag, add a shackle relocater. Maybe even remove one leaf and go with the relocater at first? Hows the ride ? I want to be able too fix things easy later. Thanks, Curt
