Default lift options

I was looking at lift options for my 97 cherokee that already has 3 inches of lift. I want about a 5"-5.5" lift. I wasnt sure if i should just get a 5.5" lift kit or 2" front coil spring spacers with the back spring shackles. Does anyone know how reliable these spacers are (because this is also any everyday driver) or what the front spacers are made out of? It already has an add a leaf with the 3" lift. Would like to hear input. Thanks

do the rear by doing a bastard pack... (just google XJ bastard pack...) basically you will add s10 leafs to the leaf you already have...

for the front:

simple... make your own spacer for the front... last time I made one it cost $9 for the pair... make them to match your rear springs...

Do some research. There is alot more involved with going to any lift over 3" than just getting taller springs or adding spacers. Other required mods are Driveline, and steering, suspension arms, gearing.
