Newbie here!
Hello, I've been snooping around this site for the last few weeks and have to mention what a great site,and a great bunch of people on here!
About a month ago I picked up a '95 XJ 4x4,4.0L Auto. I got it for 500.00 and figured I couldn't pass this up.It's main purpose was for hauling my boat in and out of the water ( our boat launch sucks ). It's first votage into the lake, my wife got it stuck. So I Guess I'm gonna put a posi in the Dana35 ( currently open ). I also am shopping for some 30/9.5/15 M/T's to throw on it. It's not my daily driver so no big deal on noise,etc. Oh yeah,also looking at doing a lift thinking about 3 inch. Any thoughts,recommendations would be appreciated.
I'll hopefully post some pics soon, thanks

Welcome.
We got the same rig, and for close to the same price (you beat me by $250 haha). Mine's a 2 dr.
For the lift, you can do a 2" budget boost for about $50 +/- on ebay. 2" coil spacers for the front. 2" steel blocks for the back.

welcome to our addiction. Sounds like you got a heck of a deal.
As far as a lift kit, Rubicon Express is pretty much known for being one of the best there is, however since this is just a toy/weekend ride you could go cheaper and still get what you want.
There are many companies that offer lifts. The cheapest is a BB (Budget Boost) with a coil spacer and lift block or add-a-leaf (AAL) for the rear. The better (more expensive) kits are new coils, control arms, full leaf packs, etc.. I would suggest picking up an offroad type magazine (Peterson's 4wheel and off road or JP are my favs).
For tires, again since this is just a weekend type rig you could go with Treadwrights (http://www.treadwright.com/shopNow.php) They are retreads but you can get cheap MT type tires with common tread patterns.
Keep us posted on what you end up going with.

Thanks for the welcome, I have seen the rough country kits on ebay and they caught my attention. The tires I have in mind are made by Federal ( Couragia M/T).I'll get some pics of my jeep over the weekend and post them.
Have a good one.
Luis.
