There are shackles you can buy at advanced auto parts that are for lowering trucks. They fit our XJs almost perfectly, run about $30 and add about 1.5" of lift. Not much, but then again not much $$ either.
Hit up a junkyard and grab some Dakota or f150 leafs and build a bastard pack.

I was checking out shock specs today, and looking specifically at the extended length, and wondered if anyone knew of a shock that was slightly longer than the 20 inches that the stock shocks are.

these should be the specs off of the truck
Ext. length:24.85" & Col. length:15.65"
You could take time to check all your vacuum lines and electrical lines. You can also refresh your ground wires throughout the engine bay. All of that stuff should be boring to do, but its important and free.

Whats the sense in washing it,its just gonna get muddy again...I like driving it around with the muddy look,gives it character and shows its not just a pavement pounder.
