My concern with the TF 2.5 kit is that it will give more than 2.5" of lift and screw up the driveshaft angles. I went down that road with my Cherokees and it was not a pleasant journey.
I am trying to figure out what lift I would go for. I am running a 2 door X with HD shocks. I do plan on keeping 33" tires for a long while but if I get a bonus at work, 35s might not be far off.

You are on stock suspension right now with 33" ?

Any other suggestion or advice ? I'm considering some coil spacer right now because someone told me that that doesn't change anything in my case and i want to be sure that my lift wont be higher than ±2.5" too.. ( or 3 for front and 2 for rear..)
Is coil spacer with shocks relocation brackets sound good or still better with new coils and new shocks ?
I'm getting confused

I am on stock suspension with stock 32" SR-A. 33s are coming next month on the stock 17 inchers (I already have spacers). I do not have enough money at the moment due to student loans for 35s, regearing, lift, new wheels. I will be getting all of that at the same time. Maybe the lift first, depending on how my 33s look.
And unlimiteds have no problems with 3", but I was just wondering about the 2 doors?

I vote for option #4 (new coils and shocks). You will get a MUCH better ride over your X suspension. I noticed an improvement over my 4-door Rubi suspension with this lift. No need to worry driveshafts with this lift height. My brother-in-law is also running this kit on his 2-door...here it is to give you an idea and it too is a daily driver with no issues due to the lift.

Somebody know what happen if I keep my stock wheels with it ? Do I need spacer ? I'm planning to change wheels anyway but maybe not this month. Can I use this kit with coils and shocks without spacers with factory wheels and tires ?

I'm looking for 33x12.5 r15 rubber with wheels with less backspacing.
also, thanks everybody. this forum Rock's !

And before you drive it make sure there is clearance between the tires and rear sway bar link bolts even on level ground. My buddy had this kit installed at a shop the the sway bar link bolts were installed the wrong way and were dangerously close to the sidewall of the tire (again without wheels spacers).
