I currently have the RC 3" lift with full leafs. What would be the best method to build from that lift, and go up another 1.5-2" of lift? I'm leaning towards spacers under the coils and leafs, but I've never done that type of lift before.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

Please search, there are many options, one isn't the blocks lol please don't use blocks in the rear

 

Sorry, I tried searching but couldn't find anything specific to my situation. Would relocation brackets for the rear and spacers or new springs in the front work? If so, where should I purchase these?

 

Shackles and new coils.

 

Spacers up front if you have to but not under the leafs. You can get an add a leaf kit or make an s10 bastard pack.

 

I'm waiting for Caveman to come preach the virtues of blocks, lol...

 

Lol

Add-A-Leaf on an existing lift spring huh? I wonder how that would turn out.

Best way to add that much/little lift in the rear is via lift shackles and/or shackle relocation brackets. They'll also make it ride better.

Up front you could do spacers but coils on their own are soo cheap.

Don't forget you'll need new shocks, trackbar, SYE, control arms, sway bar links (if applicable) and figure out something with your steering. If you just want to fit 33s I suggest trimming instead.


By the way the in-site search is garbage, I wish they'd disable it it is so hopeless. For real results use Google and add "site:cherokeeforum.com"

 

Well my rear was sagging with a 4.5 kit with AAl so i'm using 1" blocks in the rear for right now But seems to be okay but I want new full leaf packs so I don't have to have the blocks. Everyone says blocks are super bad but don't get why?

 

They promote axle wrap which wears out springs very quickly, which sucks for you, but also increased likelihood that a leaf will snap. Plus if they're not done right they can just flatten out and presto your once-tight rear suspension is flopping around on loose bolts.

 

I took my zone 3" to 4.5" with a coil spacer and shackle relocation boxes from HD offroad. It is a viable solution. Coil spacers are absolutely fine and the boxes will add some lift and bring your shackle to a more appropriate angle. You will want new shackles as well as the stock ones will hit the boxes. I notched my boxes for clearance. Worked for me. If you dont have a SYE installed now you will need it. Or deal with driveline vibes. I shimmed the rear and still have vibes but chose to live with it until spring summer when I intend to do something different.

Agreeing with others here.

 

Calling all cavemen. Where are you?
