go to JC Whitney catalog and order the spring expander's they can either expand or compress the spring to lower or raise the ride height. They are cheap. by the way, this is not exactly safe for road use since alignment angles and spring rates are changed resulting in unexpected handling characteristics. That's the cheapest way if you are just wanting to go off road doing some stunt jumps or something.

If you have a TJ ('97-'06) the cheapest lift is a budget boost. All that is are spacers that sit on top of the springs. They will give you about 2" of lift. They run about $250 for the kit. Older jeep cost more because you have to replace the leaf springs for good lift kit. I think they start about $600 and go up from there.

definately the 2 inch spacers. i have them on my TJ. they're made by skyjacker. they fit right into the spring seats, and you don't have to change your steering geometry or drive shafts. you can keep your existing springs, and like buddy said, they run about 250 ish. this means with the money you "save" you can buy some skid plates or something else. it looks good, and gives you enough to get down some more trails. and if you choose to upgrade later, you just pop them back out. my advice would be to get some sway bar disconnects, these give you far more articulation in the front than you would normally get. keeps all 4 on terra firma. hope this helps.

Find a bunch of really muscular guys. Have them each grab a part of the frame. Then on the count of three, everyone lift. Should only cost you a case of beer.

For a good job, and for it done right, get a lift kit. They cost qutite a bit but are well worth it. I have a 6 inch lift from skyjacker for my truck and it was WELL worth it.
For pricing and applications you can look at
skyjacker.com
superlift.com
trailmaster.com
roughcountry.com
just to name a few.

Well, you need to buy a lift kit, plain and simple. it will be less expensive in the long run if you do it right the first time.

I agree with one up but also before you go to high take in for the size of your axles if you are not running Danna 44 or similar I would not go over 3in kit

87-95 shackels, Add-A-Leaf, or lift spring packs
97-06 spacers or coils
depending on height dont forget anti-swaybar links, brakelines, shocks, control arms, Slipyoke eliminator, driveshafts, steering corrections ect....
