Shackles are the cheapest way to lift. We did 3" for $30. Don't know if you want to go that high, but its a thought.

you just cant put on 33's and go....some things will need to be modified...
the 3 inch shackles that were spoken might be the actual length of the shackle,so it really is only a 1.5 lift

you're going to need a minimum of 4" of total lift to clear 33's successfully, so you can either go with 1.5" shackle, and a 2.5" suspension, or the shackles and some body lift, but be careful with body lifts, they can cause alot more damage if you get into any kind of accident, and make your shift levers lower[addsig]

The shackles we bought were just basic shackles from an autoparts store, 'Parts America ' to be specific. The stock shocks work, but they will be almost out of travel. This will hurt your axle drop, but this will also prevent your brakelines from being streched as well. My shocks were toast at the time, so I really didn't care too much. The longer shocks I bought at Autozone for less than $20 a piece and were for a full-size truck so they should last pretty long. But to get longer shocks in the front you have two options- make some different shock mounts OR buy longer spindle shocks that cost a lot more. It all depends on what you want to do. But with the shackles I used it will feel like the Jeep is on 'stilts' but if you quick, cheap, easy lift, then shackles are the way to go.
