Try Explorer Pro-Comp or Rough country, they make a nice lift kit for those jeeps.If you are buying a complete kit, it should come with everything you need and a detailed instruction book. Follow the instructions to the letter and you shouldn't have to many problems if you are mechanically inclined. A decent deluxe kit will most likely run you about 12-1500 Dollars. Good luck and enjoy the extra ground clearance.

I thought about going with a budget 3" lift for my XJ. There are some that use a lift block in the rear and a rubber spacer up front. From what I'm told they are cheap but not very durable. The best I've come up with is 3" add-a-leaf or 2" add-a-leaf with a 1" lifted shackle in the rear. The front would be lifted with a 3" lift spring. Keep in mind no matter what you pay for the lift, anything 3" and above you will need a combination of longer shocks, SYE kit, transfer case drop kit, longer control arms, longer pit man arm. All these items are needed to make sure all the parts in your driveline line up as they did when the suspension was stock. If not you will have problems with vibration issues, handling issues and wheel alignment issues. Hope this helps.

Longer shocks, longer brake lines, Possibly dropped steering components...
