...Just a guess...I'm no expert, but probably a Rancho lift...Rancho has red coil springs, plus your shocks say Rancho so I'd guess it's all Rancho stuff

Lol I guess I need to be more specific how big I put 31s on it but had to trim some plastic up front.. Don't know what sizes they offered back in the dayOriginally Posted by JeepaholicNinja

ahhh haha measure from the center of your hubs up to the bottom edge of the fender flare ...I'm pretty sure 17.5" front, and 17" rear is about stock height...

So 2.5" rear, 3.5 front is what you have currently...there may have been sagging in the rear, or the previous owner may have put a higher lift in the front or added spacers...

Depends...if your leafs really are weak, shackle lifts will make them keep sagging even faster. But im not sure if yours are sagged or not. If you dont change the shackle angle too, your ride quality will probably also suffer. When you go taller, more modifications are needed to keep all the stock angles in the suspension. Do you have an aftermarket track bar? What about lower control arms?

Go to Rustys Off Road and look at his springs rear leaf's and ft coils. The coils are only $99 and the leaf pack varies but reasonable I have been running them for some time. That is the best way to go instead of shackles and spacers and the cost is marginal.
