Need help Piecing togehter a Lift

See that mud just ahead of my truck, it was deeper then my axles are high. So to not get as stuck as i got that time (i got dragged trough for about 15 feet) I was thinking i should lift it 3" but i dont want to pay to much for it. Ive got coils and im gonna get packs from an S10 make up shackles myself, what else do I need. And I was thinking of making my own adj track bar has anyone done this? I have acces to welding, Lathing, milling, cnc plasma machines so i can do a fair bit of fabricating myself (yes i know how to use them too) If you have any sugestions parts you want to sell that would help me please tell me!

this is what happend to my towhook!

What type of tow hook was it? I just want to make sure that I don't get one.

LOL that looks just like my 90 XJ

You are on the right track for 3-4" on the cheap. Mix/match a set of leafs-shims & shackles, coils & maybe short spacers up front. If you can fab up an adjuster to lengthen the TB, fine.

If not done so already, remove the plastic inner fenders & make those sharp seams flat! Your tires will thank you.

Relieve cut the rear edge of the front shock mounts...to allow the LCA to droop more. YJ front lower hoses & dropped hard lines are plenty long.

I have a set of non-adjustable rusty's LCA's that have about 10,000 miles on them. They are the 3-4" lift versions. 40.00 plus shipping and they are yours. I also have 2 sets of coil spring spacers, one 1.5", and one .75 inch. 15.00 dollars a pair. If any of that helps ya out, shoot me a pm.

They are good towhooks they went trough a lot of abuse that day! For the track bar it just needs to become longer right? Thanks for the posts so far its very much apreciated. As for vibes will i run into this problem?

JJ13 youve got PM!

i'm running a 3" lift and all i did was redrilled the axle side track bar hole. everything is nice and even. you only get one shot so do it right

I would think to take the bar off and and put in an adjustable section would be nicer! and more fun for me!
