i have a 96 xj and according to the measurments and what i have read here
FRONT 20.5
REAR 19
so front has 3 inch lift rear has 2 inch lift. from what i see the previous owner installed 3 inch coils in front and rear add a leaf with some skyjacker shocks.
Anyway it has 31x10.50x15 on it right now but 2 tires are almost bald. I have a set of 5 33x12.50x15's i can put on it but obviously isnt gonna clear so...
I ordered 2 inch poly spacer for front coils
2 inch shackles for the rear and i guess if i have no rub issues now, 2 more inches in tires, 2 more inches in lift and i should be good!
My jeep is my daily driver and it only 2wd :-( sux i know but anyway is there anything else i will need! shocks on order already and i have an adjustable track bar but will i need (extended brake lines?, drop pitman arm?, anything else you guys can think of!) thanx in advance you guys are awesome!!!

Replace suspension or lift
Hey guys,
My 99 XJ has some seriously flat rear leaf packs, and some of the bushings on the front end are starting to dryrot. So my question is, should I replaced the parts or just go for the lift now?

i suggest new full leaf packs, not AAL and new parts for the front. if they are that flat, they'll ruin an AAL. what bushings are bad? if control arms, get new ones. if tie rod, get a zj upgrade. if track bar, get a new beefy one.
