Default 2 inch lift

What is the best way to about 2 inches of lift. Would like something with rear springs if not to much. Because the rear sags now so if I do shakles I don't think it will sit level. This will be used for a hunting minor and light offroad use. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Also what size tire would I be able to run with this?

FWIW, I'm considering this kit: http://www.rubiconexpress.com/Suspen...px?part=RE6160

I found my rear springs a bit "saggy" after toting home so garden rock the other day... It seems to be a very good value and straightforward to install.

Cheers.

I would try and find a set of new xj stock springs and then throw in a set of shackles and build a set of these http://www.madxj.com/MADXJ/technical...oilSpacers.htm

easy and cheap!

I'm thinking about air shocks for the rear and 2 inch spacer's on the front.

If the springs are already saggy do you think I should use add a leafs or go with new 2in lift packs?

Add a leaf's will sag in a year or two if you're already dealing with saggy leafs... better to get a new set of leafs.

AAL's will make the ride very harsh, especialy on sagged leaves.

Bite the bullit, and put new springs on, and some 2" shackles while you are under there.
