I have a 99 xj wanted to lift it junkyard style possible, was wondering what parts from other vehicles will fit my xj and lift it? It has 190xxx on it. If junkyard doesn't work? What's the best way to lift it? Budget boosters and coil spacers? And shackles? I'm going to the JY on Monday please let me know.
Long winded question coming up! Hey guys! Just got my first XJ couple of weeks ago, my dad's had one before that i worked on and what not so second one i guess. It has about 160,000miles on it, and alot of worn bushings and so on, and very lacking care from previous owner/s, my plan with it is to get it up to standard again cause it will be used for my DD, plus the occasional camping trip(we drive between 150 and 450miles one way on 50-60mph dirt roads here where I live when we go on camping trips easy) and I am also and avid 4x4er so heres my question, I am looking to lift it, for now, 2inches is all I want to do for now via a BB, and later I want to do 3 because that'll include coils, so that I can fit 30-31 inch tires MAX, becuase they are cost effective options for being popular, but here'S where I want to cheat, I want to get amazing droop on my suspension, so I want some advice on my idea, I am going to pop a whole set of bushings in the suspension from front to back, and then for the lift, Rough country shackle relocation brackets(1-1.5inch lift rear), coil spacers(2inch lift front), brake lines and stuff, quick disconnects, and 1.5-2 inch adjustable rear shackles(these combined with the brackets, will allow great adjustability for loaded/rear height conditions) . Now, what will happen if I put shocks meant for 4inches of lift on this thing? I'm looking at the Zone ones, but not decided yet. Is my idea good? Will it flex as good as i think it will or is this stupid? The correct length of shock here is importamt to me since I'm aiming for more down travel, but not necessarily a high standing vehicle. Please help me figure this out and point out anything I need to know? Thanks in advance.

230 that's it? Nice. I wonder if I could find one cheaper.
Yeah I actually got it off of rc's website and got 10% off the kit. Here's the kit http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep-sus...70-config.html
