I think TJ mart has some wheel spacers he may part with  8-)

I may shortly have a 2" budget lift kit available.
and also a 2" Old Man Emu suspension lift kit both soon to be removed from my XJ I'm breaking.

Fit a small block under the rear springs.

Details here.

I used a 12mm thick strip of steel, raised the rear 12mm for a fiver :-D

Remember with shackles that the amount of lift is about 70% of the length of the shackle over the standard one, so a 2" longer shackle will give an overall lift of about 1.5". If they are too long they may twist and damage everything else. Most long shackles are made of heavier gauge metal and are braced.
