I am putting in a 3" lift and the front coil spring I am about to put in. I need to know if me putting a 2" spacer in it will affect anything with the steering or driving at all please! If it doesn't sound like a good idea, please tell me I need to know please!! Thanks!

Well it will go in. You might need some new parts like Drop Pitman arm or a track bar. But do some more reasearch its all out there and on here about peoples builds and what all they used and needed.

Lol, stock track bar and pitman arm? Control arms also?

I gotta see a picture of this

Ya, eventually you will need a new track bar and pitman arm.

And remember, do an alignment when your done!

What language are you butchering there?

JeepingDan

Yes it will affect the steering. The front wheels toe inward the higher you go. You will have to adjust it afterwards to get it drivable.
A drop pitman arm would be good to invest in.

no rdplz

total of 5" in the front (3" coil, 2" spacer)? drop pitman arm, trac bar, lower arms (to center the axle).

Im not gunna call you a liar but....I will say that your xj now has alot more stress on its steering components and even with an alignment your steering geometry will not be perfect creating unnecessary tirewear

It would look funny with the axle pulled over to the drivers side and Im sure the steering setup will have some nice angles.
