Default Starter lift set up for my gilfrien

So im lifting my girls jeep, nothing to big going for just a 2" inch lift.

Im going to be using 2 inch coil spacers

Amazon.com: Jeep Cherokee XJ 2" Front Budget Boost Lift Kit Spacers 84-01: Automotive Amazon.com: Jeep Cherokee XJ 2" Front Budget Boost Lift Kit Spacers 84-01: Automotive

And rough country's adjustable leaf shackles to raise the rear 2"

And either the N2.0 or N2.2 shocks depending on my paycheck.

Is there anything else i should get to go with it? Its her daily driver and weekend warrior so were trying to stick with the basics. Nothing special or hardcore. Just practical small lift thats reliable. Shes running general grabber at2's, 235/75/15 i believe.

Tall shackles won't do much for flat leafs, an add-a-leaf will work better for your application since they'll provide lift at the bottom of your leafs.

To get the most life and lift out of an add a leaf lift I would suggest getting new leaf packs or ones with little miles on them if yours don't sound like that.
