I am looking at 2 different lift kits. one is a Rubicon express 3.5" lift with full packs and the other is a 4.5" rustys lift kit with full packs. My xj is a DD and it dont see trail's but every now and then. what would be better? i am thinking the 3.5".

I hear good things about both but RE was the hot ticket when I bought mine, the 5.5 long arm kit had just came out.. so thats what I did.

Make sure you get an adjustable track bar..

good luck
