ok so I found some blocks on ebay that I thought might be cheaper than buying a kit but im not sure how many I need. anyone have an idea? is there anything besides the blocks and longer bolts that I would need? Heres a link to the blocks on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ZONE-OFFROAD-BULK-BODY-LIFT-BLOCKS-ZON2296-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3ef58b27a2QQitemZ270407509922QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

2" blocks and bolts are a good start,usually 2" lift wont affect the other components of the Samurai,but you check the coolant hoses and steering arm from the firewall for proper length,your t-case shifter will really shorten down,so you may need to figure a extension.

thank you for the reply. do you know of a place where I can get a t-case extension from?

I hear you can get a male/female threaded pipe.Maybe a hardware store.

do you know what the thread is by chance?

Not off hand,you gotta unscrew the t-case shifter ball,then you'll see the threads.Take the ball to the hardware store,they will match the thread pattern
