So would it be crazy for me to lift my 2WD XJ? Just going for the look!!!

Of course not! Go for it.

Say you have all the components, how difficult is it to install yourself.

I bought a 2" kit from Rocky Road Outfitters for $140 USD. It uses coil spacers up front and block and shackles on the rear. I figure it will take about 4 hrs if I have access to a lift.

That's exactly what I have on mine, Like dycksonjl says, easy to put on, good instructions.

IdahoJeeper - What size tires are you running? Is there enouogh clearance for 31's?

IdahoJeeper · #7 01-11-2005, 05:01 AM

right now I have 30X9.50's and they fit no prob. I imagine I could go to the 31X10.50's and still be okay, I've actually been thinking about it on the next change...

is it hard to turn my 96 jeep cherokee 2wd in to a four wheel drive_

The easiest way to turn your 2WD into a 4WD is to buy a 4WD. I'd like to do it myself but the money and time seem to be too much.

converting from 2wd to 4wd is about a weekend's work, plus the cost of the parts from the junkyard. Certainly not very hard, or very expensive, but when it all boils down, it is cheaper to just buy a 4x4. Do a quick KBB search and you'll find that the average 4wd xj goes for just over $600 more than a 2wd model of identical optioning. So in the end, just sell yours and buy a 4x4 and you'll end up saving a few bucks.

the $140 2" lift kit, does it come with new u-bolts for the rear axel?

Some 2" Kits Do No Require You To Remove U-bolts, You Huse A Shackle To Raise It

I have a 92 Laredo 2wd that is lifted 2" via the spacer/shackle method. Got the kit from 4wheel parts wholesales for $119. Daystar made it. Easy to put on, Works great. The shackles are zirk fitted. I am running 31 x 10.50's on 97 wrangler rims. rides like a champ.
