Shackles spacers and blocks?
So im wanting to lift my 2wd jeep for cheap. 
I wannna do a combination of spacers, shackles and maybe blocks.
I know there is a shackle set from autozone you can get but i've had no luck finding them, and dont know how much they lift. and how hard should it be installing the SS&B's? I know theres probably a billion threads asking this already but...

Yea, if your rear leafs are in pretty decent shape I would just go with a spacer up front and a shackle in the rear. Are you looking to upgrade your shocks at the same time or trying to stay cheap as possible and use your current ones?
If your rear springs are in good condition then I would roll with something like this:

I've got the RC adjustable shackles and have had pretty good luck with them.
If your springs aren't in that great of shape, and you are wanting to upgrade shocks. I would go with this instead:

As far as install goes it just depends on your mechanical ability. Also, is your underside rusty? Start PB Blasting bolts a week or so before doing the install and it should go smooth.

I know people do not like blocks on here....
But if your linked right and have the right stuff i would run them you wont have problems with only a 1 inch
(im gonna get hated on for saying this)
But I am and HAVE BEEN running 6"" blocks in the rear for 2 years now......no problems....
will be getting lift leafs eventually then a smaller block

PB Blasting should be a common term with Jeep owners by now. If not... add it to your vocabulary if you plan to modify/fix your Jeep.
