Hi, I bought a beater YJ and want to lift it 2 inches. Since I paid 900$ and it runs/drives/etc, I want to lift is as cheaply as possible. I only drive it on the weekends, so daily driving is not a concern....can anyone recommend a cheap solution?

PM = private message, click on the little icon below his name and it will send him a message that only he and you can read. that way you can discuss phone numbers, price and meeting etc... without broadcasting it to everyone else.

Is a spring over simply putting the spring on top of the axle...if so, will I need new u-bolts? How challenging is it to do that? How much lift will that give it?

You need to do a little welding and fabricating. Bob

Spring-over nets you about 5.5" of lift, give or take.
it is not cheap to do it properly. Contact PatriotYJ about this. He just finished his.

go with the 2" lift from axel then get some shackles and maybe a 1" body Lift. That would give you like 4" and you could then get some 32" on there. perfect and cheap.

Thanks for the tips...Jeepfan seems to have the best idea based on my abilities. Has anyone worked on a right-hand drive Jeep? They're unusual here so I'm hoping I won't run into any issues...thanks again.

The side the wheel is on should not cause a problem ona lift like that.
