Height you want? Will you offroad it? Mall crawler? Not enough info man.

Mr.Goodnight

sorry im new and i dont know what height i want and what is a mall crawler lol

Martlor13

You don't know what you want haha? Pretty hard to help haha. A mall crawler is all those vehicle that are lifted high with big rims, and lots of lights and bumpers that never touch dirt. Could also be called a pavement princess.

Ok to try and help. What's your budget? You need more and more money for each inch of lift you want because more and more components are needed to do it right.

or 40 - 60k for a pre runner, lol.

A xj is the wrong thing to use for a prerunner.A ranger or 80-96 f150/bronco would be better.

This is the very best answer you need to have an idea of what you want and how you plan on using it. When you do that we are all here to help you down the right path.


This is a very real answer also it could run you from $3k-80+k. We all need to have a budget in mind where we can start from. Then if you plan properly you can add to it as you can save the money/time to do so, also how much of the work can you do yourself.
