2x Main eye bushings = $18

Teraflex 1.5" lift shackles =$63
http://www.quadratec.com/products/16191_703.htm
Grand total of $590
After installation I checked clearances, and function. The trac bar did not need to be relocated at this height. The rear does not vibe on her 2000 year model xj with d-35 and NP 242. The ride was bouncy and jolting before, now it is cadillac smooth.
The stock height rear shocks are a tad short now, and only allow about an inch of downward travel before topping out. Rear shocks are in future plans.The rear stuffs well with the 245/74/16s now, but the front rubs just a tad.
Sure I could have had a kit for less, but I wanted good shocks and full leaf packs. All in all I am happy with the way it has turned out, especially the ride quality.
