Default Xj lift

I had a 22 jl unlimited ****** I lifted before I sold it. Does anyone know or has anyone tried to install the stock suspension onto a xj? Hoping shocks and springs will fit and give it about 3" to 4" lift

I've used stock jk front coils in the front of an xj/mj as I recall it seemed to be more of a stock height. Don't know if the JL coils are any taller. Again factory jk shocks though they used a different bolt size for the eyelet/bushing were functional for roughly a 3" lift.

The Gladiator Rubicon fox shocks were good for a 3-4" lift as well but again, mounting hardware setup needed some attention (post mount eliminators in the top front and drilled out then sleeved bushing lower. Rear shocks got the same drilled out then sleeved bushings top/bottom)

Thanks for the help, I've had previous xj's in the past and bought lifts for them. Was hoping I could've squeezed buy without buying one this time

I got the gladiator suspension for cheap. Shocks coils arms. I attempted to run coils but the were far less lift than the 3 coils i was running.

I did run the fox shocks actualy think in still running they rear shocks.
