I just finised my 96 sport kick with a homemade 5" lift for about $300.
I got coils from a Grand Vitara, 4door, V-6. Those coils raise the front3" [no axle problem]and the rear 2". I used a coils spacer to level it. For shocks I would use stock and screw on the top extended studs.Your done, I did add a 2" body lift. It rides nice, I also added a rear spool ,locker in front, 4;24 t-case along with my SPORT RUBICON decals on the hood. Hope to drum up some money with those jeeps that will think I am stock.
