First thing you will need to go long arms and drop the short arms before you even think about going bigger. Second why would you want to go bigger??? After that you will have to find some 8"+ coil springs and add spacers to make up the difference, as for the rear add some leafs to the packs or new leaf packs. I am still wondering why would you want to run a 10" lift on your XJ?

Noises After Lift
I'm pretty sure these noises are a result of the 3" lift I put on my xj. It is a grinding/rubbing sound. It's not a continual noise. It's very irregular and sounds like it's coming from under my seat. Any ideas? Thanks

okay. i'm going to be perfectly honest in saying that i know NOTHING about lifts. But, I'm lookin to lift my 00 XJ. So if you lift guru's could help me out that would be great. I'm wantin to know how much lift i can put in without having to mod. any mechanical stuff (drive shaft, etc..)?? Also, what is the most cost friendly lift? I'm only 17 and goin into university next year so I'm not lookin to break the bank just yet.
Any input would be appreciated.

Jesse You can probably get away with a 2" budget boost without any mechanical alterations. If you had an older Jeep you could go a little higher but the later models are not so forgiving.

okay lift gurus. i got an 84 xj 2.5L i want a lift that's homebrewed and i don't want to have to adjust my brake lines. i've heard s-10 leaf springs and a f150 coil. what years on the pickups? and could i swap parts with the s-10 and still have it be driveable. got a 93 s-10 but it needs to work when i'm done.
