rubicon express 3.5" lift w/Add a leaf. part# re6020 @ $403.95. www.rubiconexpress.com
I ran this lift on my 98 XJ for 2 years running trails,mud pits and the occasional jump. If you take that plastic S#!t off your fenders and roll the sheet metal up to the body line you can run 32's. The only thing you will need is longer shocks. But if your just after looks and occasional off road use buy some 3" lift coils and a add a leaf or lift shackle,because at 3" your steering angles and driveline angles will still fall within stock tolerances. I also bought a 2-3" pro comp add a leaf set with hardware on craigslist for $50 so shop around... go after brand name stuff and you should be fine.
THE END
