Some of the budget boosts work with stock tires, I don't think you would have to change the shock. But I'm not sure about 2".

But give our Tech guys a call to be sure, there's a couple of ways to go, and they can help you choose the one that's right for you. :-)

Rear shackles and coil spacers . Most inexpensive.......https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=xj%20cherokee%202%20inch%20lift

Coil spacers and add a leaf is the cheapest easiest way to go.

2" shackle will kill your stock packs pretty quickly. Better with AAL, or doing relocation brackets and MJ shackles so you get the height and correct shackle angle that won't put too much stress on the leaf springs.

For the front you can do 2" spacers or find some ZJ V8 Up Country coils.

For the shocks you really don't need to do anything unless you're going to be crawling rocks often with your sway bars disconnected. Even then you could just get some bar pin eliminators.

And aal destroy your ride so 6 of one 1/2 dozen of the other pick you poison.

AAL will make the ride quality less nice but so will 2" shackles. Difference is AAL won't flatten your leaf packs entirely over a couple months like shackles will.

Thank you my freinds , i can clearly see that my best option is to put 2" coil spacers and 2" aal with stock shocks, isn't it?

Dont use short aal if you go this route,they dont disperse the weight of the jeep along the whole length of the spring. Use long aal they tend to last longer......http://www.pavementsucks.com/board/t...af-add-a-leafs.....
