Hey guys, I'm new here and I got a few questions about lift kits:

1) What's the difference between Suspension Lift Kits, Leveling Lift Kits, and Body Lift Kits? I tried hunting around roughcountry.com but it's a little over my head.

2) I'm looking to put some bigger tires on my GP ('96 Cherokee Sport XJ) and I'm wondering what's a good, aggressive, but not inhibiting size? I was hoping to find a pretty cheap brand/size.

3) How (if at all) do lift kits affect MPG, speedo measurements, handling, etc?

Thanks in advance!

Here's some photos of what i'm talking about. As you can see, the current tires are looking a little bare and I'm about 3 months from needing an upgrade desperately. I figured I would go ahead and throw on some new tires and a lift kit!

I was gonna put a skyjacker rock ready kit 6" on my 98 xj sport its pricey but comes with eveerthing shocks, steering stabilizer, brake lines s.s, 3pc sub frame assembly, q.dissconnects, greaseable shackles & much more. found it on quadratec but these guys talk very highly of rough country & I haven't even checked them out yet. I also looked into clayton & tnt customs both very nice kits but pricey. check out quadratec.com they sell rubicon express, skyjacker & many more they'll help point you in a direction & see a variety of lifts at 1 site.
