Hey guys, I'm looking into a "body?" lift for my KJ. I literally know nothing about suspension. I've heard that it is possible to pay for a cheaper "spacer" lift rather than new shocks? but that this is not as smart as older shocks don't hold up as well? or something like that. So it seems like a daystar 2.5 lift is the cheaper alternative. I'm a broke college student, so I'm looking for a little height, at little cost. If I had this done, I'd either start looking on KJ forums for someone I could drive to meet, to do it for me, or I'd have it done at a shop. I googled the lift and found this for $155, is it really complete? I'd need to buy nothing else?

I've heard that its smart to buy new ranchos. Does that refer to struts or springs or both? At this point, I don't think I'd get them, but I might upgrade later when I have the money.
Sorry if my ignorance to suspension is annoying, or if I'm repeating this thread for the 2304973247th time.
Thanks!
