Looking for some impute on lift kits, I have spent many hours researching lift kits for the XJ and want to know how high is to high for Daily driver.
My max lift would be 4.5, but depends on ride quality for D & D.
I`m looking at the Rubicon express kits and thinking of OME for shocks...

Might want to check local and state lift laws. I ran 7 on mine but it's all in what you are willing to deal with. I didn't drive mine every day or else I wouldn't have gone as high.
