So not only dealing with my axel alignment issue, but I think I was sent the 4in lift kit when I ordered the 6.5. Here's my jeep( silver ) after the lift was put on. The black jeep is the one from iro's website showing the lift I ordered. Anyone else think mine isn't 6.5?

In your guys's opinion what is the best 2 inch lift kit that you could get while it still being reasonably priced? i dont want a big lift just something to give it a little more functionality and look better. Thanks for any help

If you can prove you purchased the 6.5" kit and they sent you the 4" kit i would get some free 6.5" coils at least.

Not being really familiar with those jeeps, i wouldnt know for sure what 6.5" looks like. But that doesnt look like 6.5".

Everybody's deff of "reasonably priced" is different. Lol. All you should need is coil spacers and shackles or an AAL. You get what you pay for.

I'm got my invoice which shows 6.5 in lift, and I measured the height, stock is 18 and I got 22 now.

http://dpgoffroad.com/products/3-inch-deluxe-xj-kit/
http://dpgoffroad.com/products/22-5-...-hybrid-kit-2/

They are all OME kits I just want to know if there are any parts in these kits that I don't need. Also with the first kit posted if I don't have a dana 35 axle will this still work. Not sure how the rearend determines what type of lift you can use. I think I have a chrysler 8.25 rearend but I am not 100% sure. Remember I won't be wheeling this it is a DD for now so I am just looking to clear my 31" tires and possibly improve the ride based on the OME reviews I have read.
I would STAY AWAY from 4wd.com and 4wheelspart.
