I have the 2 inch spacers on my ZJ along with a 3.5 inch spring lift. It kicks some a$$ lol. It still rides decent considering. Mine is wearing the pinion seals on the diffs and t-case, but no wonder. :lol:
check your front top spring perches, some 99's had really short fronts, which makes it less than desireable to add a large spacer.....not enough shaft for the spacer to hold on to. as for price-cant beat that price. its also common for wj's to get death wobble from a lift (even a small one), but generally you are ok up to 3". i say go for it.
ok, I just hate the kids that lift their 2WD Xterras, 4runners, and cherokees. If they were building baja trucks then I could forgive them, but they never are, so they look stupid driving around town without a spot of dirt on them. lol
i say go for it if thats what you want to do. just make sure you do it right. reinforcing what everyone has said about making sure you get shocks with the lift.
imho though, what you pay for is what you get. in other words, the more you pay the better quality of a lift you're going to get. rubicon express offers a nice WJ 2 inch budget boost that comes with shocks.
here are both my rigs..... the black one is the 4.7 limited w/3"ironrock and 265/70/16 Nitto Terra Grapplers, biltsien's, 1.25" spyder trax spacers', tbs, intake, The goldone is an 04' 4.0L, Laredo, 2" boost, 265/75/16 Firestone Destination AT's, 1" Spacers, Intake, TBS,
Canyanman is correct, the early ones had DS issues.
I've been running a lift for 35k now, I love it, that being said, it costs ALOT of money to lift a WJ properly. I helped Mario back in the day when he decided to lift his wife's WJ. Our setups are slightly different, but the pictures speak for themselves.
Get a JKS trackbar and good shocks at minimum to go with the spacers. A lift is not something you want to half-ass.
Lift it! lol how much are you thinkin about going up? I went with a RC 4" and 2" skyjacker spacers for 6" of total lift, and i love it. Just make sure if you go up more than 3" or so you get the right control arms or you can get a death wobble from hell. I had it for a bit until i got mine drilled out to fit
I think I may still have the 2" Rusty's spacers I had on my '00 WJ somewhere in my garage. If I can find them you can have them for the cost of shipping. Let me know and I'll look for them.
