Default additional lift

Hello! I am new to this forum and new to upgrading my 91 Jeep Cherokee laredo.

I recently put a 3 in tuff country lift on it (springs, shocks, blocks on rear, transfer case lower, and control arm- NO add a leaf)

I was wondering what kind of kit should i use for an additional 2 to 3 inches. Would add a leaf and coil spring spacers be the way to go?

Thanks for any advice!!

Well waffalz maybe you can help me. I already have 32 11.50 tires and just got an 01 limited that's stock. I cut the fenders on my 99 jeep but refuse to do it to the new one. Do you still have the stock fender flares on yours? I plan on lifting the new Jeep and want to make sure I have plenty of clearance.

I used extended shackles on my leaf springs and hockey puck style spacers on the front coils to net another 1.5"+-. Current set up is 5.5" of lift and runs 33x12.5 tires on wheels with 4.5" backspacing to keep the front tires off the control arms at full turn. Started out with a standard Rubicon Express 3.5" Super Flex lift which seems to net more than it's listed. Axles flex great and the tires will push all the way into the bottom of the wheel wells. Fender are trimmed about as much as possible and running aftermarket fender flares to keep flying debris under control.

get rid of the blocks in the back, and get new full spring packs with extended shackles

in the front, a 2" spacer is as much as I would go. Anything taller than that, just get new coil springs

above 3" you will need new adjustable lower control arms, new shocks, new adjustable trackbar, and new brake lines, and possible degree shims

above 5" you will need the stuff for >3", plus a SYE kit and new rear driveshaft, drop trackbar and pitman arm mounts, and new upper control arms

i recommend staying under 4.5/5" of lift - it gets really expensive after that point
