help with 2" lift
Hi Everyone,.. I'm new to the forum, and I just got my 2010 unlimited x. I want to put a 2" lift on it, to accommodate a little larger tire with more back spacing on the wheel, but I don't know if there are any other alterations needed, as in the steering shaft, or anything. The kit only comes with minimal items, and nothing is mentioned in the directions about altering anything else, but I just want to make sure I don't mess something up.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

having said that, a good budget boost will come with everything you need and nothing else will be needed. teraflex makes such a kit and i might recommend it.
