it's a decent start but your rear springs will sag quickly. You're better off going ahead and getting the http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep_xj_4x.html then you won't be doing the constant add ons like leaf packs. I started with the 3" RC, added leafs, adjustable trackbar and ironman lower control arms. Then 2" shackle and poly coil spacers, now doing sye even though I eliminated my vibes.

I got 4.5 x2 series. I got most of my vibes out. The directions were crap but I figured it out. Just need a SYE, too bad i have a 242 otherwise it woulda been done by now. I can't tell if mine is sagging or just on slightly uneven ground.
