Is there anything that satisfies these 3 criteria?

I just wanna little tiny bit more lift (little tiny bit bigger tires) but it's my daily driver so I don't want any issues, plus money's tight. I also don't wanna just chuck a piece of pipe under the shock stops and then have the thing grenade on me. Any suggestions out there for cheapo that won't self destruct?

Let the discussions begin!

Your best bet is get some OME springs and shocks.

oh ya have you not seen toykojoes?? he gained a good amount, OME says that you will gain 2" but from what Ive seen its more like 3" if you go with the HDs and you'll have less saggin over time, let me see if I can find a pic for you

I think you mean Woody's KJ not TokyoJoe's. TokyoJoe is getting Al's 4" lift installed right now.

That wasn't me. I have Rusty's lift (Oct 04 LOST group buy).

Well, I had Rusty's.......should be half Rusty's and half JeepinByAl 4" lift right now as of this post. Should be all JBA (JeepinByAl) 4" lift by the end of the day today.....except for the brake line....for a week.

lol ya thats who I meant, no wonder why I was having a hard time finding it, sorry

here are pics of his after the OME lift, he said it was just OME coils and shock and struts, and maybe a clevis

I dont know how much he netted but maybe he will chime in and will answer that for you, or someone else that has the OME lift

I did my OME Heavy Duty springs , Rancho struts/shocks over 45000 miles ago, (April 2005) , small clevis, and mine looks similar to Woodys, also check out one that Pbrug did about a year ago. I got at least 2.5 or 2.75 out of the setup. Lots of others have done the same thing with OME HDs with similar results, not a big deal. No sagging or hardly any like you will have with the Rustys.
Save up and do it right the first time.

and Cacher123 most all are DDs on here, mine with almost 94000 is and no problems lifted at all....well except getting into some older parking garages with the lift and rack on... :wink:

Even though the Old Man Emu lift isn't the cheapest to buy at the start, you will probably end up spending less money if you buy it first. It's also fairly easy to install and gives a good amount of lift. Like Tom said, the HD lifts at least 2 1/2". Many of those who start off with spacers or less expensive coil lifts end up buying OME eventually. And for good reason, it's a heck of a good deal and a great lift.

Chris,

You seen my KJ, it SAAAAAAGS BAD in the front.
