kyleag89 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 The words cheap, easy, and lift don't belong anywhere near each other.. Just look through the first few pages of the tech section there is about 10 threads on this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pioneer Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 While cheap is always a scary word with lifts, a simple coil spacer for the front, and add a leaf in the back will net you about 2 inches. The real question is what is the purpose of the lift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cz777 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 for the back side ...get 2 Monroe ''spring over shock'' for a s-10 ....cut top cross bar off and install app. lift 3'' .. which gives you lift and load help too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armygreenmj Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 I would like to fit 31s and to get Alittle ground clearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I would like to fit 31s and to get Alittle ground clearance You can fit 31s with NO lift, if you use OEM Jeep rims. A stock 215/75 or 225/75 tire is about 29" diameter, so just going to 31s will automatically give you an inch of extra ground clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comanche County Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I used rear sway bar links from a 1995 F350 a while back. They have the right bends in them similar to stock XJ/MJ links and are about 2" longer. Cheap and napa carries them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4.0 ones use the same components as Comanches and Cherokees. Also the lift will only be about 1" unless your springs are badly worn and sagging.

Ya i did a xj RE 3'' add a leaf, & it didn't give me the full 3'' lift but it's enough to fit 31's use the Dakota main leaf & it should give about what i got from the Rubicon Express add a leaf if not add more leaf's till it is the height you like = bastard pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Would doing add a leaf give any kind of lift without doing an soa? Rancho has a full-length (almost) AAL for the MJ and XJ that gives about 1-1/2" in the MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
