Just installed 2" Coil spacers and add-a-leafs and i got the itch now lol but the problem is that i'm dirt broke being a young college student with a wife and children.

So i want to intall 31x10.50R15 in the future and as I understand that a minimal of 3" is required. so whats the cheapest way to go about it? I have looked around but want to try to build on what i allready have.

hey man I ran 31's for over a year with the same 2in boost. All you have to do is trim your fenders up a little. Cheapest way to do it.

You could maybe get V8 Grand Cherokee
front Coils, for about 1.5 inch lift
And some lift shackles for the rear.
That would keep it real cheap.

well i've got a 2000 model and want to keep my fenders, I dont play on rocks but do find myself offroad alot around the farm/dirtroads and want to start riding trails soon enough so want it to be capable. I had a 94 xj ridin on 31's and loved it!

ZJ coils with my 2" spacers and rear lift shackles (off ebay for cheap) with my add-a-leafs should be about right......ummmmmmm I like that good idea, keep-em coming

Look up some junk yard lift kit threads... You will find tons of ideas

does the ZJ coils have to be up-country (i am assuming thats some special package) to get 1.5 lift

You could also get a set of Rusty's 1inch lift coils for $100 for the pair.

Hahah for that matter you could get rustys 3" or 2" coils for like 120 or maybe less than that I don't remember but also if you get like thunderbird coils I think they'll give you 3" of lift or something like that. Research it.

too much budget boost is no good. your gona need a tc drop and some other stuff as well. break lines, shocks, stearing linkage, all needs to acomadate the lift.

3" is fairly mild... He would only need shocks and prob a tcase drop... Brake line relocation brackets if he wants to.

JY/PnP is your friend!
follow the link that Char92dj8 gave you. It'll tell you all you need to get for next to nothing.

I'll probally address the brake line issue when i get to it, i'm kinda hoping to get around a t-case drop but will if i have to.

my question still remains (even after i have looked around cause i've seen different answers) but the will the coil springs off of a 4.0L Grand cherokee give me the lift i'm looking for or do i need to find one with a V8?

no rdplz

I believe they need to be from a V8 GC, but someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

They need to be off a v8, I believe its because of the stiffer spring rate.
