Ok i want to get a lift but i dont want to lift it too high to where i need to replace a bunch of things, like ive heard once it gets lifted to a certain highth theres things that start breaking or need to be replaced, i want to go as high as i can w/o needing to replace things because its a DD and i dont want it to break down on me. Is 3.5" the limit or what is the highest?

At 3" you just need springs shocks and brake line brackets and sway bar links. After that your looking at control arms, track bar, sye, and longer brake lines.

With a 4.5 lift you'd prob need an sye since it looks like u have a 97+ model. Won't need brake lines unless u plan on going higher then that. And you'll prob need an adjustable track bar. 3" is good and u can always upgrade from there if ya want. Goodluck.

First off try using the search function this question has been asked tons of times... Second, if ur lifting it ur gonna have to replace stuff no matter what. 3" is good to start with because you dont need as much and its a bit cheaper then running larger lifts. If you search u can get almost any size lift with almost everything you will need. For a 3" lift, you will need something to lift the front, coils, or coil spacers. And for the rear you'll need either aal, a new spring pack, shackles or blocks. You'll also need shocks, you might be able to get away using stock shocks with bpe's but should just replace them with proper shocks. You might need a tcase drop depending on if you get vibs or not. Or can also get a sye but a tcase drop will do just fine. Nothing else is required for a 3" lift but you can add extra things if you want.

Thank you! I have been wondering this for a while!!! Now, are the Zone off-road lifts any good?

Yea, there not bad alot of ppl run them that are on budgets since they are a bit inexpensive. theres a lift stickie with a lot of different lifts you can get. Just do research and find a lift that suits ur needs and budget. But when it comes to lifts you kinda get what you pay for..

That's what I'm affraid of. I want quality but can't afford Rubicon Express. Im looking at Rough Country 3" lifts at first. But saw Zone on the vendor side.

Im running a rc lift. can't complain, if you can spring for the extra money get the 2.2 shocks.

Yeah I'm looking for under $450, with the nitros and add-a-leafs so I.can get new packs at the local pick-and-pull
