New to grands

Well I just bought a 2000 Grand Cherokee. I am big into Cherokees and I do not know to much about Grands. So I want to lift it! This is my DD so I dont want anything to extreme. So who makes the best lift for grands?? I know Rustys has 2 inch coils but who else?? And how big should I go? any info would help!!

,John

Welcome to the Grand world. lifts between 2 and 4 inches seem to be pretty common, a good resource is Kevin's http://www.kevinsjeepparts.com/spacerz.html
and NAGCA http://www.nagca.com/nagca.htm
Budget boosts are easy, pretty safe, and relative inexpensive (except for tires)
check out the picture thread here and at NAGCA.

the 2" BB seems to be popular. Its just a spacer that goes on top of your factory coil spring-->very affordable hence the name Budget Boost
