:helpme: Ok, I know I'm gonna get yelled at for not searching....But I did search!! The results are just overwhelming and without too much time to search through them all....I figured someone could give me some quicker advice. I'm goin on a camping/offroading trip in less than 2 weeks and need time to buy/have shipped/and install a lift on my '90 4 door 5 spd Pioneer XJ. My Buddy is givvin me a good deal on his used wheels and tires (31x10.50 Dunlop radial mud rovers on stock '97 TJ 15x8 rims) And I need to know what lift I need to comfortably put it through some more-than-moderate abuse!
As my buds all say, my XJ is "less than stock". Made all the mods I can w/o spendin much money. But now it's time to finally and quickly put a small lift on eit before we get around to custom building a long arm kit in a few months! Don't need anything fancy for now, just CHEAP and able to clear 31s. This is also my dail driver (as rough and abused as it is".
Soooo....I've heard on here that a 2'' budget boost will clear 31s, but i'm gonna disconnect my sway bar and am not looking to rip a lug off a tire! Do I need more than 2''? My budget is pretty much only around $200 at the moment. I don't think AALs are much of an option as my packs are about completely shot IMHO and almost bow in the oposite direction. So I was thinking coil spacers and shackles would be my best option. Any better ideas? Also, where besides ebay would be my cheapest place to find somehtin?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Last thing...my bud has a set of Skyjacker shocks from his TJ w/2'' budget boost, can I reuse these? Thanks alot guys!!! (I'm really not as dumb about this as you may think....Just lookin for some quick help!!!!) :helpme:
