cheap and easy lift

[armygreenmj]

Can someone tell me a cheap and easy 2-3" lift for my mj I don't have the money to buy and expensive lift :(

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.

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?

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...

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.

Thanks everyone for the replys I will try some of this out :wrench:

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.

Would doing add a leaf give any kind of lift without doing an soa?

Only from V8 equipped ZJs. 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.

Rancho has a full-length (almost) AAL for the MJ and XJ that gives about 1-1/2" in the MJ.
