What is the best way I can lift my front end up another 1.5" or 2?
My 35s rub when turning up a slanted driveway.

Here again is a picture of the front.

A 1.5 or 2 inch spring spacer.

This. Or bump stop your tires properly. If it rubs when you turn into a driveway, it'll rub offroad.

Agreed with a spacer comments. I have some on mine to level it out cause of the weight of the bumper and winch.

Stock tie rod and 35's should be the first concern, not the rubbing.

Its lifted already and not sure if there is a spacer in there already. I will take a look next time I go outside.

Would this help?

Get a V8 ZJ tie rod. You don't have a spacer on there now but a 3 inch spacer like that will mean new shocks and bring up other issues like control arms and track bar

Either a v8 zj tie rod or something similar. I've seen the stock bar bend on 35's just from light wheeling

This whole kit:

Or just this:

And would I be ok just adding a 1.5" spacer without having to change a lot of things?

Yes 93 to 98 and you will need an alignment at the least. Your shocks will probably be maxed out and turn into limiting straps, your track bar will need to be adjusted, and your control arms will need to be longer.
