I need some advise or ideas on lifting my x. I have a 91 XL 4dr. At the present time I have a 3" trailmaster body lift running 32x11.5 on 8.5 rims with rancho RS5000 shocks. i don't really do any offroading, mainly want the look. Any ideas on how I can lift it 3-4 more inches without actually buying a suspension lift and paying $1500 to buy and install it? Like I said I got 3" already, but as far as looks go, I feel the bigger the better it looks. Wife will be pi*** because her little 5'2" (_Y_) will need a step ladder, but sorry it's my baby and the reason I bought it. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Guys!
 






There is no other way to do it without a suspension lift. Now you could lift the back about 5.5" more by doing the spring over axle. I think someone said it costs like $30 to do. Although it would look really lame without the front lifted, you could do it.
 






Check out Dannyboy's lift. He quite possibly has the cheapest lift around but it is very functional. Like fenderguy said, you can't get any higher unless you do a suspension lift. And in your case, you can go about 5 inches and put on 35's. Then you will be about as high up as you can get. Unless you do a Zimmerman lift.
 






You could get 1.5-2" with coil spacers and warrior shackles. Very cheap and you could do it yourself. That's about it:( if you con't want to do a suspension lift.
