I'm gonna be putting on a 2" lift on my 90'YJ so I can put my 31x10.5x15 tires. I have looked at so many lift kits and do not know which ones are the best. Any ideas? Also, I am gonna put new shocks on as well, but will I need to get a different size with the lift kit? I am new to this site and fairly new to the Jeep life. Man, is it ever addicting. Thanks for any advice!

Welcome.
If you are going to replace the shocks you will want longer ones.
The YJ guys will chime in on lift options.

Thanks. Slowly redoing the Jeep and have many new replacement parts, but want to get the heavy stuff done first. I have looked on line for items, but are there some good places locally to get wheels and tires from?

the cheapest 2" yj lift is a longer shackle
A body mount spacer may give you the room you need to clear 31's -
Nice combo would be a Rubicon Express 2" lift with a 1 " Body Lift. You will cleat 31s really nice and have a better than stock ride. Also dont go too stiff with shocks.. Might try a nice adjustable shock.

Been awhile since I checked on this. Crazy work shifts in the ER. Thanks for all the advice. So the more rugged shock is not the better ones? Also, would anyone advise adding a leaf spring? Wasn't aware of the need to add a body lift/spacer? A little new at this, but enjoying the hell out of messing with my jeep!

i put a 2.5 inch Rubicon express lift on one of my YJ's when i had it. Was a great ride, and great look when done. Did well offroad too. i highly recommend RE lift kits...complete with all new hardware

I have a 2" RE BB on my Rubi I installed last year... just last week put a JKS 1.25" BL and had trucks unlimited put a 1" JKS MML on... ride is great and looks good... I posted pics in the jeep talk forum..
