you get what you pay for is all i can say...
better off taking you time and piecing together a nice solid lift!!! imho

xjmafia

I would get new coils in the front and matching shackles for the rear... then some shocks

are your rear springs ok or are they sagging?

98xj_john

ya but if you spend the money and it sags you will be upset.. deff just buy some rc or re 3" coils and full leafs.. then work on arms and tracbar from there

xjmafia

the rear leafs seem to be fine it has 130 miles on it hasnt been abused. what would you get for coils up front and shackles for the rear? would that kind of set up clear 31s?

ericfx1984

in that case do this...

front (home made coil spacers) when I built mine I spent about $9 for the pair

rear...

2.5-3.0" lift shackle

superior automotive part number 13-4100 ($30, can be found at Autozone, Advance auto parts, O'reilly's and I think even napa)

then relocate your track bar and get a used set of JK Rubicon shocks (usually less than $50 for the set of 4)

can clear 31s stock lol i did... but the money you spend on re or clayton stuff will make you happy!! clayton only does 4.5+ so re is good start for you then when the addiction kicks in you will go bigger lol

xjmafia

im open to suggestions for sure. let me know what you think i could use that would be cost efficent and get me the clearence id need for 31s.like i said i wouldnt be out crawling and mudding. i like how things look clean lol even tho i bet its pretty fun to go out and tear up some trails

98xj_john

if you ever want to go wheeling aals and pucks wont do it for ya you essentially have the same flex as stock up front and aal tend to sag bad after flexing!

98xj_john

what would you budget be?? i could look around and find a nice setup for ya!
