3" rough country suspension lift on ebay for $250. Just installed on my 93 Cherokee ... able to fit 31X10.50R15's now. Looks awesome, wicked bang for the buck!

im in the same boat. I have front 2" spacers, but want to go with a full leaf pack. The spacers are just sitting around. I need 3" springs.

the ride is slightly stiffer, but nothing uncontrollable. Still is very acceptable even at highway speeds.
As for what the kit included ... front coils, 4 shocks, add-a-leafs for the rear.
Just took about 3 hours, basic tools, a floor jack and axle stands.

i used the RC kit and AAL, and didn't like how it made my springs sag in the rear, front is great, AAL is bad for rear springs. Check this out though, my fix for the sagging springs. http://www.cnyjeep.org/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3604
What I did was remove the 2 longest leaves from each side of an extra set of XJ leafs, cut the eyes off to top spring, stacked those into my existing springs, and replaced the shortest spring with my AAL from the RC kit. Net gain is about 3.5 inches. Ride is a little stiffer than it was, but not bad at all and I didn't end up with any vibs. I'm guessing that if my springs weren't flat when I decided to do this, net gain would have been 4 or 4.5. Since I did this, 2 members of the club I am in have decided to follow my lead and build a bastard pack using my example because the RC kit comes with everything you need for 3 inches front and 3.5 rear except the extra springs that are only like $20 at the JY.
