3in lifts
I am still trying to figure out witch 3in lift i want to go with. I would like to hear any pros and cons about RC 3in vs Rustys 3in vs RE3.5. Any info would be great thanks alot guys.

I've got a RC 3" but with the full pack. I had the add-a-leaf but it rides so much better with the full pack. There isn't much to them so I don't really know where you could go wrong. Get the one with the control arms so you can droop more. You'll need to do something about your brake lines if you run disconnects or no sways.

go with the RC 3" Series II kit with full packs, you get new coils, leaf packs, shocks, LCA's etc for a reasonable price. Its the best bang for your buck if you ask me, i ran a regular RC 3" AAL kit and loved it, the series II is an improved version so its what i would get next time i lift an XJ
RE has some expensive stuff but their quality has been slipping lately due to outsourcing etc, and $1000 is way too much for a 3.5" lift if you ask me, but then again i'm not rich

x3 on the full leaf packs.I pieced a kit together for about 700 2" OME HD full rear packs(mine are still sitting at 3" after lil over a month),zj front coils W/ 3/4 spacer, 7000 hydros and all the hardware including new sway bar links plus a bunch of drill bits, taps,bolts and tools that I broke/didnt have(grrr Metric). I sit a little over 2" in the front and 3" in the back..could have gone cheaper but I wanted those HD springs for towing and i got some things like ubolts and the links local. ride is great not harsh not soft(rear shocks are a lil soft for heavier towing, but i will put some spring assist shocks on when these puke ).little bit of sway in the corners cause of the rake but ill even it out once its nice and i can drive my cutlass again.
