Junkyards and Craigslist are good options to lift your Jeep on a budget. Use the search on here for budget lifts. If you search and read it, there is a ton of useful stuff on here that has helped many people. Good luck and welcome to the forum!

for a small lift that wont break ur wallet,u can get 2inch spacer for the front coils,and 2inch shackles in the rear and u can fit 31's or u can also trim along with that lift and fit 32's maybe 33's if u trim enough

Welcome Dallin. I would have to agree with xjmuddigger. Spacers in the front and shackles in the rear. It won't break your wallet too much . The most you would probably spend is $160 to include shipping.

u migh have to trim ur fenders a lil bit to make them fit and u might need a sye or a t-case drop kit,but u also might not since every xj is actually a lil different
