Hi! Just bought my first cherokee and was looking to bump up the ride height on a budget, I was wondering if a rugged ridge 2" spacer lift (https://www.quadratec.com/products/16114_0851.htm) would be a good idea for being on a budget and only wanting to gain two inches. I have been browsing for a while and have found people saying adding the rear spacers could cause my rear leafs to sag. Is this true? And if so how can I prevent that from happening or can someone recommend another route to take.
Hey guys, this is my first post. Im intalling a 3 inch lift on my 2001 xj. I need to install new leaf spring shackles. The oem ones are a little expensive so after doing some searching i have fpund some nice aftermarket parts but they all have a bit of lift built in. So my question is will having an additional inch in the back cause any problems in regards to drive shaft angle or having to lower the transfer case? Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated
i'm back again shopping around in order to do a long arm upgrade kit and I'm a bit lost on what to do.
I'll explain my problem. Being from Canada shipping and the US dollar ends up costing a lot more than what we see online. With shipping, the cavfab 3 link kit comes out to 1600$, 350 only for shipping. I simply can't afford that even though I know it's quality.
I'm still eyeing the rough country long arm kit (only the crossmember and control arms, not the full kit), but reading reviews it seems the joints are a problem. Having rough country dealers in Canada would make it so this kit comes to around 900 bucks shipped, which is a lot more interesting than almost double that amount for another kit.
What would you do if you were me? People often say "spend the extra money" but here that's 7-800 bucks, not only a couple hundred... If the joints fail can I buy new ones and simply replace one at a time? Is there anything else I haven't considered? I have never had any issues with their short arms, only the leaf springs, so I can't imagine it's THAT bad. Other than joints it's only steel (or so I think..)

Could you have it shipped to a friend in the states and then drive over the boarder to get it or something? Rough country just doesn't compare at all to the level of quality in the cav fab kit. It's also a 3 link set up which is better than radius setups, which if I'm correct is what rough country has.

don't know any one close enough, i know services exist for this but i'm pretty sure i'd pay them the amount I end up saving on shipping so I don't think it would help.
Ideally that would be the best thing to do, but even there driving to the nearest border would be a 350-400km one way, so 800km all around is 2 tanks of gas, again another 100-150$. i could save up to get the necessary amount, but it just seems too much for a lift kit.
Can someone help me identify this lift? I have 31 inch coopers on it. Thank you!
I believe it's an old man emu 3inch lift? It has picks up front also I forgot to grab a picture though
