Lift kit options for a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
I have a client who is looking for a small lift for his 2005 GC. I have never worked with the IFS before. It looks like a simple spacer on top of the strut would do the required lift. A matching spacer on top of the rear springs should level it out. Who makes such a kit and what problems are caused by the lift other than the standard rise in center of gravity?

The 2005 and up Grand Cherokees are indeed IFS. There are many lifts that are relatively easy to install on that vehicle. I have installed this kit from Rock Road suspension, on a 2005 Grand Cherokee.

It works very well for a daily driver that needs a little attitude adjustment but retains the stock ride, and allows larger tires. Its priced very fairly, and with your average hand tools can be easily installed. I've seen no negative side effects from this kit. I've recommended the kit to other customers as well.

The Grand doesnt have IFS, it's a solid axil. Rustysoffraod.com makes great lift kits for the Grand. I reccomend a long arm kit to maintain smooth driveability. Short arm kits are cheaper, but sacrafice road worthiness. For a dual use, go long arm.
Cheapest option is spring spacers (i.e. budjet boost) for a 2" max lift, but you may need longer brake lines and bump stops.
