Yeah... but had a good time regardless!!! Must do it again!
 
Fronts are from the Grand, about 2" longer than stock XJ, rears are from a Comanche, about 3" longer... fronts I found with the springs @ wrecking yard, 20 frogskins... rear leaves from a different yard, another 20 greenbacks... rear shocks I will end up buying new tomorrow... hard to find Comanches around here... front shocks are aftermarket German-made nitrogen-filled, work really nice... will get some rock shots after shocks go on tomorrow...
Flexed 'er up some already, but forgot camera!
 
C'mon, guys... it's a work in progress!!! Gonna do the wheels body color... you know how it is... first things first! Trail-ready, then make it look good...:yelclap:

Nice lift, I'm also researching a budget boost, hope to find some parts at a local junkyard... A little paint on the wheels and you all set...

Sounds Like you found a ZJ with the up-country suspension package. Probably why you got 3" of lift and very nice shocks. Great find!
