Great advice, a good little tip on bushings if you do not have the torque spec: Crank it down until the bushings start expand out and you are good to go !!
I put this 3 inch lift on my 1998 Grand Cherokee, it was not as easy as the video shows. The front was the bitch, the back went in fairly easy. I would put in the metal spacers if I were doing it again. The front took a lot of prying and pushing to make it re-fit once the spacer was put in. All in all It looks great now.....
Man I'm actually super excited about getting these! I don't plan on doing any off roading or at least not anything serious so I really didn't want to spend 800 bucks on a crazy full kit I'd never use. I just wanted to make my WJ not look like a mini van and be able to throw some 32s under it lol. For 150 bucks I can't wait!
My spring spacers won’t fit on the spring isolator it worked for 3 other tires but as I was doing the last one it won’t fit on the spacer is to small in inside diameter please help
Hello - how much isnt it fitting? You are always able of trimming down your isolators or widening the spacer to make it fit. 3 spacers fit but 1 does not? Have you tried placing the spacer that doesn't fit onto on of the other mounts that does to see if its the spacer that is the problem or your isolator? Small modifications can be made to either piece and shouldnt be too difficult to do.
This definitely doesn't work as they show or near as easy. I had to take the trac bar off.sway arm and lower control arm to get my axle to drop low enough to install. Then the trac bar almost didn't go back on had to force it in place
how did that kit work out, if you could let me know how it bolted up with the sway bar links and how it rides. I would appreciate it. thinking of the very same budget lift. thanks
Unfortunately we do not but the install is very similar. The fronts install the same but the rear spacers install on the bottom of the coil with the flat side down if you are reusing the rubber isolater. Hopefully this helps.
Yeah i didn't understand that myself, I have a 2 inch Rusty's budget boost kit on my jeep and it's the same thing. I still have the front isolators but i really don't know why they put them back on. i'd like to know a reason.
Unfortunately, the rear isolators don't fit over the rear spacers which is why they were not reinstalled. They do offer an extra barrier against noise and vibrations so we try to reuse them whenever we can. We haven't tried running the fronts without the isolators so I don't have any data on how the kit works without them.
@@SupremesuspensionsLiftKits AWESOME! Bro thank you for the reply. I purchased some adjustable links thinking I needed them for the 2’ lift. I will return them now👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Still need to install panhard bars? My opinion is that the back side it will not be centered with the whole car. The central spacers are necessary only for 3 inch or also for 2?
You could yes, many people do. Though its usually advisable to install on a 4 post lift for ease of installation, this is totally doable in your driveway, given the proper tools and support to do so.
Hello, Though its not necessary to do, it will make it easier. If you have the ability to do so, you can rent one from your local autozone or o'reilly (small refundable deposit) instead of having to buy one. Many customers however have installed these without the need of a coil spring compressor, but it is also dependent on what course of installation they are doing (on a lift, at home, etc).
im going to order a kit this week. and have been watching videos on the installation, would a spring compressor help ? or is it just a "PIA" for the front? i dont know if it helps, but i have a 94 grand cherokee laredo and will be doing this in my driveway. any help is appreciated. thanks
I would recommend going to a local parts store and they can lend you a compressor at no charge. It will definitely make a difference during the install!!
@@SupremesuspensionsLiftKits You were correct in your first comment. This guy has a WJ not a ZJ. On top for ZJ . For WJ it goes underneath in the rear.
Probably need more then provided in the kit in the end of the day ,such as extended or longer shocks and track bar ,drag link or so on , never just works out simple and easy lol
Death wobble is often a perfect storm of several issues. In my experiences, there's usually a worn suspension component like a control arm bushing combined a worn steering component like a drag link. When a lift is involved, these situations can be exacerbated by an improper caster angle. This all gets set in motion by introducing a lateral (from the side) force to the party like hitting a bump or an improperly balanced wheel. I'd first start with the steering and go over every ball joint, tie rod, and drag link. Also check the steering box for play, I've personally seen that as a contributor to death wobble on a couple of lifted ZJ's. If anything is showing any sort of play or obvious wear, replace it. While you're at it, take a peak at your U-joints and bearings. If you suspect the caster is off, and it likely will be on a 3"+ lift with stock control arms, it's not a bad idea to invest in something like this: supremesuspensions.com/products/1984-2006-grand-cherokee-zj-front-upper-and-lower-adjustable-0-8-control-arm-kit?variant=21394936758352 You can buy a full set to be safe but on a mild lift, you can just get away with doing the lowers. Also, they come pre-loaded with bushings which leads us to the next checklist... Check the bushings on both upper and both lower control arms, both at the axle and the frame. Also check the track bar bushing because they like to wear out too. If anything is looking cracked, crushed, or otherwise worn or distressed, replace it. Take note of the mounting brackets for each component. I once had a nightmare of a time helping my friend get rid of death wobble on an old YJ Wrangler and we eventually traced it to a track bar bracket that had worn oblong and allowed the track bar to slide around slightly. Since you mentioned that it comes on at a specific speed rather than when hitting a bump, you're going to want to get your front wheels re-balanced since that is probably the catalyst that triggers death wobble in the first place. Doing this won't eliminate the death wobble, it's just that death wobble at a specific speed usually indicates that the tires are out of balance- and it doesn't take much imbalance to set the wobble off when there are other worn parts involved. Once all the worn-out parts are replaced, you'll want to address the caster angle. I say leave this till last since you're likely going to be replacing at least a couple steering/suspension components and this way, you only need one trip to the alignment rack. The key here is to leave no stone unturned. Death wobble is usually a combination of issues so make sure you swap out anything that looks out of sorts. Hope this all helps!
@@SupremesuspensionsLiftKits hello S.S., can you copy and paste this complete death wobble written reply and send to me by email? I tried to copy this important information to reference later but was blocked from doing so. My email is 8gitmusik1@gmail.com
Have you tried searching on ebay, I know we have listings up with the spacers front and rear and you might just have to add the t/case drop separately.
So I will be ordering your guys 3 inch spacer because I ordered SDT spacers and they got my order completely wrong so I will be joining ur supreme suspensions spacers soon 💯🔥💪
Hey I was going to buy your guys 3” spacers but a lot of the reviews say that they received 2 1/2 spacers and a lot of people are disappointed about that because amazon is false advertising. I really want to buy them but I don’t wanna go threw what SDT put me threw this week wrong parts
Hello! Not sure where you are getting the 2.5" spacer information from, but our spacers for the ZJ's are typically a 1 to 1 ratio. However, spacers for most vehicles (about 95%) are NOT a 1 to 1 ratio, by default. Unless the vehicle is a solid front axle, its very rare for strut and/or coil spacers to operate in this fashion and are more of a 2:1 or 1.5:1 ratio instead. For instance - a 3" lift for a 07+ Tundra is achieved by a spacer 1.5" thick. But for a 2004+ Ford F150, a 3.5" lift is achieved by a spacer 2" thick. What many people have called us about before is a question about the nature of how the spacers work. Since spacers simply space the coil or strut away from the body, it also steepens the angle of the lower control arm, resulting in an additional "push" upwards. This accounts for the additional lift height. It's the most common misunderstanding when installing spacers and the most frequently occuring return reason by virtue of not understanding how spacers typically lift vehicles. Hope this helps!
So do I still get the 3” front spacers from supreme suspensions on amazon because I really want the 3” from your guys company they look real solid but I just don’t wanna receive the 2 1/2
Thinking about lifting my 94 Zj 2” but curious as to what I would need. Just the transfer case spacers and 2” coil spacers. I just installed new shocks so ill probably reuse them is that okay? They are OEM
Yes, this is the kit for your 97. Here is a link to all of the products we currently carry for your vehicle: supremesuspensions.com/collections/jeep-suspension-lifts/1997+grand-cherokee-zj If you mean transfer case drop, the answer is maybe. Each vehicle is different. Anything above 2" MIGHT need the transfer case lowered. You will not know until the vehicle in question has been lifted, tested, measured etc. I wouldnt be too concerned. If you end up needing to do it, it is an easy task.
Each spring is held in place with a retaining clip, normal offroad use it will be fine. This kit is not designed for slow, rock crawling where the suspensions is cycling to the extreme !!
I speak little English, but install 3 inch and I stay higher up front, rear I did not put the spring isolator, I have to put it ?, I hope you understand.
YES!! Although you can get the stock trackbar to "fit", it DOES move your axle off center towards the driver side. Period! Plus with a 3" spacer, you can experience some bumpsteer, sometimes. It is recommended that you either get an adjustable trackbar or drill a new 10mm hole to the right and slightly above the original hole, after you recenter your axle (ie. lift vehicle and let axle settle into place).
I'd say 31's with no additional backspacing is doable with the potential of minor rubbing with the 3" lift. There might be some trimming that may need to be done though. 30's would probobly be a more comfortable solution though.
The stance of some vehicles is pretty even from factory. Its technically a lift kit as much as it is a leveling kit, but it just depends on what is necessary to make the vehicle level based on your vehicles rake.
Purchase them in metal. Budget spacers are sold in metal for only about $5 more. I purchased metal and then the plastic spacers from supreme. Not impressed with the plastic. 3" Metal spacers are safe.
What is the reason for removing the rear isolator? After I lifted mine I’m getting reverberations every time I hit a bump that sounds like the spring reverberating into the body. I know it’s not driveline or exhaust and Ive ruled out all other potential reasons for that. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue.
Typically because the spacer would not fit back up in to the body properly if the factory isolator was retained since the opening of the spacer would not support it. Did you do a 3" lift in the rear? Are you still using your factory shocks?
Supreme Suspensions no just the 2 inch, and I put the height appropriate shocks on there right after. It literally sounds like the spring reverberating when I hit a bad enough bump only in the rear.
Am I supposed to put the spring isolators back on the 2 inch or do you not reuse them on every size spacer lift from you guys? I’m still having a huge problem without running spring isolators.
@@ryangallagher5086 I guess they haven't replied or answered your comment or complaint yet still ?!?!? Sucks cuz I was wanting to purchase this but seems either to simple to be good quality without other or extra parts and/ or too hard to install for something so cheap and easy and maybe I should just buy a real lift kit with ALL the components and good quality and EVERYTHING needed
Hi Mike, typically 3" would be the maximum you could go without having to buy any additional suspension components since these parts were designed to be used with factory suspension. However, it doesn't mean that it's not still recommended to do extended length shocks or other supporting mods if you decide to max out your suspension., but you can comfortably run a 2-3" kit without any issue.
I mean, you could technically stack 3 on top and make it 9" but none of those things would be a good idea in reality nor would it work properly or safely =( 3" is the max you will want to go before doing a full suspension upgrade (to support lifts taller than 3")
I got a jeep with at least a 5 inch lift it dont have transfer case spacers, does it drive good......... yeah sure lol I off road the shit out of it does it probably need them absolutely
We always recommend a transfer case drop kit to be installed when lifting a 4wd model. We also have shocks and control arms if you're planning on doing some off-roading. Please give us a call if you have any questions or ideas for modding your jeep. Thanks!
just bought your lift for my 97 2wd grand Cherokee. what Is the biggest tire you can fit on what offset wheel. won't be doing much offroading it's my work vehicle. thanks and it's a great product you put out!
I'm not sure. It was a customer car from a few years ago. I've seen similar headlights on ebay and the tails might have been stock units that were painted with tinting spray.
Supreme Suspension I need your technical support. I bought the 3" front and 3" rear budget boost spacers and was wondering what size tire can I run on my 1997 Jeep grand Cherokee limited? I have the 5.2 V8 and 249 transfer case so its 4 wheel high all the time. With no lift I went 1 tire size bigger and I'm running 29" BFG KM3 mus terrains on stock suspension but was wondering if I could fit 31" tires easily under my ZJ?
31" are definitely doable with that size of lift. Depending on the offset of the rims you can go up to a 33" usually without any clearance issues, but you MAY need to use a wheel spacer or negative offset rim to push the wheel out towards the curb for inner fender clearance so that you're not rubbing when turning your wheels to the extreme right or left.
hi. how much for the kit you installed on that 98 jeep grand Cherokee? I am looking for lift mine 2 inches.thanks for the info. mine is a 1996 jeep grand Cherokee.
It’d be fine if you’re a mall crawler but the first time you flex your shock is gonna be the limiter and that’s gonna destroy them basically anything over 2 inch on stock shocks is not that great
The kit itself, with extended-length ProComp shocks, is $314.95: supreme-suspension.myshopify.com/products/1993-1998-jeep-grand-cherokee-zj-full-suspension-lift-kit-extended-length-pro-comp-shocks-2wd-4wd?rq=yr_1996~mk_jeep~md_grand-cherokee-zj Adding the Transfer case drop for the 4WD models is $29.95: supreme-suspension.myshopify.com/products/jeep-cherokee-xj-grand-cherokee-zj-transfer-case-drop-spacer-kit-4wd-4x4?rq=yr_1996~mk_jeep~md_grand-cherokee-zj Installation costs will vary by the labor rate of the shop that you use but the whole install can be done in about 3.5 hours or so with the transfer case drop.
@@SupremesuspensionsLiftKits so what kit is best with all needed parts for install and (0) issues on my end besides the install its self ,like what all additional parts or tools are needed to install and drive to alignment shop
If only it were that easy right? We happen to be fortunate enough to have our own shop with a hydraulic lift, but we design all of our products to be installed both professionally in a shop environment and by the DIYer in their driveway with a jack and jack stands. If you ever need any assistance with your installation do not hesitate to call one of our ASE Certified Technicians at 888-810-6791!
Nope -- the largest size you could put on a ZJ without any trimming would be a 30-31" tire. Also depends on the size of the rim as well. One of our clients has a ZJ with exactly the same spec wheel/tire combo (33x12.5s with a ~3" lift) and is able to articulate off road, but this required HEAVY trimming of the fenders.
Yes... you might also consider a transfer case drop (if it's 4WD). It's fairly inexpensive and an easy install. Takes stress off of the driveshaft U-joints.
Stock would put them at about 225/75/r15 or about 28" dia. I wouldn't go any further than a 30" dia. with a kit like this until you get to about 6" lifts. Then you can run bigger tires like 31" or 33" tiresize.com has a bomb ass tire calculator that lets you compare tire sizes on the fly and even shows drawings of the size comparisons. I have it permanently on a tab in my phone and it's saved me multiple times and several hundreds of dollars on oopsies lol
It's a good idea to loosen all control arms/track bar bolts and retighten to spec at ride height. If not, the bushings will wear out early.
Great advice, a good little tip on bushings if you do not have the torque spec: Crank it down until the bushings start expand out and you are good to go !!
I've done a few lifts over the years but having a video like this is extremely helpful for reference

supremesuspensions.com/collections/jeep-suspension-lifts/1997+grand-cherokee-zj
If you mean transfer case drop, the answer is maybe.
Each vehicle is different.
Anything above 2" MIGHT need the transfer case lowered. You will not know until the vehicle in question has been lifted, tested, measured etc. I wouldnt be too concerned. If you end up needing to do it, it is an easy task.
Do you guys make a 3 inch lift for a 2003 grand Cherokee

Will It work on a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited 4 x 4 5.2 V8 ???
Yes this will also work with the limited models!
Will this kit handle trails ? Hear people saying if flex to much springs will pop off
Truck81 3 inch spacers are dangerous. too much flex and they can pop out. better off with just 2 inch
MrJamef I ended up buying 3.5 inch suspension lift I didn't wanna chance the spacers
Each spring is held in place with a retaining clip, normal offroad use it will be fine. This kit is not designed for slow, rock crawling where the suspensions is cycling to the extreme !!
3 inches is too much with stock track bars too. The axles will be way off center.
Supreme Suspensions is this kit fine for just going over bumps, ruts, small rocks, etc in light offroad?
I speak little English, but install 3 inch and I stay higher up front, rear I did not put the spring isolator, I have to put it ?, I hope you understand.
please give us a call at 888-810-6791 so we can help you out.
@@SupremesuspensionsLiftKits well what should I do with same issue
Rear springs won't fit on spacer, the ridge on the spacer is too big in diameter
That is very strange to hear, please give us a call at 888-810-6791 and one of our technicians can get to the bottom of this!!
Did the 3" lift put your axles off center?
Most vehicles do not need an extended track bar with a 3" lift.
YES!! Although you can get the stock trackbar to "fit", it DOES move your axle off center towards the driver side. Period! Plus with a 3" spacer, you can experience some bumpsteer, sometimes. It is recommended that you either get an adjustable trackbar or drill a new 10mm hole to the right and slightly above the original hole, after you recenter your axle (ie. lift vehicle and let axle settle into place).
What is the biggest tire size recommended
I'd say 31's with no additional backspacing is doable with the potential of minor rubbing with the 3" lift. There might be some trimming that may need to be done though.
30's would probobly be a more comfortable solution though.
3 inch front and 3 inch rear how does it level?
The stance of some vehicles is pretty even from factory. Its technically a lift kit as much as it is a leveling kit, but it just depends on what is necessary to make the vehicle level based on your vehicles rake.
Purchase them in metal. Budget spacers are sold in metal for only about $5 more. I purchased metal and then the plastic spacers from supreme. Not impressed with the plastic. 3" Metal spacers are safe.
We have a lifetime warranty on all of our products so in the rare case something happens, we have you covered.
How much this kit? you send to brazil?
What is the reason for removing the rear isolator? After I lifted mine I’m getting reverberations every time I hit a bump that sounds like the spring reverberating into the body. I know it’s not driveline or exhaust and Ive ruled out all other potential reasons for that. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue.
Typically because the spacer would not fit back up in to the body properly if the factory isolator was retained since the opening of the spacer would not support it. Did you do a 3" lift in the rear? Are you still using your factory shocks?
Supreme Suspensions no just the 2 inch, and I put the height appropriate shocks on there right after. It literally sounds like the spring reverberating when I hit a bad enough bump only in the rear.
Am I supposed to put the spring isolators back on the 2 inch or do you not reuse them on every size spacer lift from you guys? I’m still having a huge problem without running spring isolators.
@@ryangallagher5086 I guess they haven't replied or answered your comment or complaint yet still ?!?!? Sucks cuz I was wanting to purchase this but seems either to simple to be good quality without other or extra parts and/ or too hard to install for something so cheap and easy and maybe I should just buy a real lift kit with ALL the components and good quality and EVERYTHING needed
How far can I lift my ZJ 93 without any other mod in the suspension?
What kind of kit you guys recommend me please
Thanks
Hi Mike, typically 3" would be the maximum you could go without having to buy any additional suspension components since these parts were designed to be used with factory suspension.
However, it doesn't mean that it's not still recommended to do extended length shocks or other supporting mods if you decide to max out your suspension., but you can comfortably run a 2-3" kit without any issue.
@@SupremesuspensionsLiftKits could i get away with stacking a 1 inch spaced ontop the 3 with new shocks?
So is this gonna pull my tires in too far to fit 31x11s? Those are some pretty tiny tires on there
Typically lifts will help you fit larger tires in the fender well.
I ran 31s on my zj with no lift, rims with a little offset and a small bit of trimming. Cut about an inch out of the front bumper
Can you stack 2 on top to make it 6 inches ?
I mean, you could technically stack 3 on top and make it 9" but none of those things would be a good idea in reality nor would it work properly or safely =(
3" is the max you will want to go before doing a full suspension upgrade (to support lifts taller than 3")
ZJ
transfer case drop really necessary? purchased a 2" set it didn't say anywhere I'd need one.
BKG Customs with a 2 inch no big deal. when u get to 3 inch that's when you need to start changing things around.
if it rwd i dont think you have to worry , i think i remember him saying it due to the transfer case angle drive shaft , comprende?
I got a jeep with at least a 5 inch lift it dont have transfer case spacers, does it drive good......... yeah sure lol I off road the shit out of it does it probably need them absolutely
We always recommend a transfer case drop kit to be installed when lifting a 4wd model. We also have shocks and control arms if you're planning on doing some off-roading. Please give us a call if you have any questions or ideas for modding your jeep. Thanks!
Are you able to share where you got that grille?
Unfortunately no, we don't have the info on that grille as it was customer installed prior to the video. =(
I have the same grille on my ZJ. I got it at rockauto.com I believe it was about $50.
just bought your lift for my 97 2wd grand Cherokee. what Is the biggest tire you can fit on what offset wheel. won't be doing much offroading it's my work vehicle. thanks and it's a great product you put out!
He brian madison, I purchased the same kit for my 2wd Jeep Grand Cherokee, I'm assuming we don't need the Transfer case spacers for our 2wd model ?
Where can I get those headlight/tail lights?
I'm not sure. It was a customer car from a few years ago. I've seen similar headlights on ebay and the tails might have been stock units that were painted with tinting spray.
I made my projector headlamps. Much better than any pre-made I've seen in person.
whats the wheel offset
Sorry, but we do not have that information. These vehicles are not ours and we do not save information on them.
can you do a video on a 06 tundra
We just wrapped up an install, video coming soon!
+Revolutionary Revolutionary lol ak47 wtf man. anyways it's a joke brother. knowing how Isis love them Toyota trucks.
He never put the track bar back?
He did @ 1:27
Supreme Suspension I need your technical support.
I bought the 3" front and 3" rear budget boost spacers and was wondering what size tire can I run on my 1997 Jeep grand Cherokee limited? I have the 5.2 V8 and 249 transfer case so its 4 wheel high all the time. With no lift I went 1 tire size bigger and I'm running 29" BFG KM3 mus terrains on stock suspension but was wondering if I could fit 31" tires easily under my ZJ?
31" are definitely doable with that size of lift. Depending on the offset of the rims you can go up to a 33" usually without any clearance issues, but you MAY need to use a wheel spacer or negative offset rim to push the wheel out towards the curb for inner fender clearance so that you're not rubbing when turning your wheels to the extreme right or left.
Sweet
How does it ride
With new extended length shocks to adjust for the new travel, and it will ride perfect !!
why wasnt the rear spring isolater reused like the front?
The designers felt the isolator on the rear was not necessary to retain/reuse.
can the spring spacers be used with stock shocks?
Spacers can be used with all OEM Components, thanks for your interest!
hi. how much for the kit you installed on that 98 jeep grand Cherokee? I am looking for lift mine 2 inches.thanks for the info. mine is a 1996 jeep grand Cherokee.
It’d be fine if you’re a mall crawler but the first time you flex your shock is gonna be the limiter and that’s gonna destroy them basically anything over 2 inch on stock shocks is not that great
The kit itself, with extended-length ProComp shocks, is $314.95:
supreme-suspension.myshopify.com/products/1993-1998-jeep-grand-cherokee-zj-full-suspension-lift-kit-extended-length-pro-comp-shocks-2wd-4wd?rq=yr_1996~mk_jeep~md_grand-cherokee-zj
Adding the Transfer case drop for the 4WD models is $29.95:

Installation costs will vary by the labor rate of the shop that you use but the whole install can be done in about 3.5 hours or so with the transfer case drop.
@@SupremesuspensionsLiftKits so what kit is best with all needed parts for install and (0) issues on my end besides the install its self ,like what all additional parts or tools are needed to install and drive to alignment shop
This isn't an XJ.... it's a ZJ.
My spring spacers won’t fit on the isolator please help they fit on all 3 other tires except the last one I was installing won’t fit
انه عندي جيب شيروكي
Can I fix 32s with this kit
You may be trimming a portion of the inner fenderwells if you go with 32"s
This is Grand Cherokee ZJ. XJ is a Cherokee.
The music in the background ruins this video
So no one is going to say anything about extending the rear post?
Rear post? Are you referring to the bumpstop?
Your video fail o tell me how I get the fucking coil in and out cause u skipped the Trac bar
How much coke has Tim done?
I don't trust anything he said after he said CARS it's a JEEP not a car 😂
Step 1: get a car lift
If only it were that easy right? We happen to be fortunate enough to have our own shop with a hydraulic lift, but we design all of our products to be installed both professionally in a shop environment and by the DIYer in their driveway with a jack and jack stands. If you ever need any assistance with your installation do not hesitate to call one of our ASE Certified Technicians at 888-810-6791!
What size tires can I go to if I put a 3” lift on my 95 grand Cherokee Laredo if I’m keeping the stock rims
31's no problem. 33's will probably fit but you might have to do some light trimming.
Will a 33x12.50x15 fit a zj with a 3inch lift with out rubbing and with out cutting anything
Nope -- the largest size you could put on a ZJ without any trimming would be a 30-31" tire. Also depends on the size of the rim as well.
One of our clients has a ZJ with exactly the same spec wheel/tire combo (33x12.5s with a ~3" lift) and is able to articulate off road, but this required HEAVY trimming of the fenders.
Hi could I just get the 3” spacers and put it on or do I also need the shocks
with a 3" lift, I would recommend adding extended shocks.
Supreme Suspensions what if I just did a 2” lift then?
2" is about the limit where you can get away with factory shocks
Supreme Suspensions thank you so all I would need is the spacers
Yes... you might also consider a transfer case drop (if it's 4WD). It's fairly inexpensive and an easy install. Takes stress off of the driveshaft U-joints.
Will it work on the 2wd also?
Yes, the parts are interchangeable.
What size tires are the finished product?
Unfortunately that Jeep is long gone but I believe they are stock.
Stock would put them at about 225/75/r15 or about 28" dia. I wouldn't go any further than a 30" dia. with a kit like this until you get to about 6" lifts. Then you can run bigger tires like 31" or 33" tiresize.com has a bomb ass tire calculator that lets you compare tire sizes on the fly and even shows drawings of the size comparisons. I have it permanently on a tab in my phone and it's saved me multiple times and several hundreds of dollars on oopsies lol
