opinion on body lift kit
I'm looking into lifting my 98 XJ. Leaning towards body lift since I won't be doing any hardcore wheeling or rock crawling. But will be slight trail riding though. Basically want to lift 2-3 inches for larger tires. I was looking at this http://www.quadratec.com/products/76117_801.htm
Recommendations please!!

It would be cheaper to go with a rough country 3" lift with new front springs an add a leaf in the back and new shocks for 255 on their website.

I was thinking about doing a 2 or 3 inch Rough country lift but don't the add-a-leafs sag after not too long? And new leafs just seem too expensive so I don't know if i want to do it or not.

If i were you, I would do what he said. But, if money isn't a big issue you can get the option of new rear leaf springs for $264 extra with a Rough country 3 in lift.

X5 on the rough country kit. Sky jacker is over rated. If your going to spend around $300 go for a full leaf pack kit from either rough country or rustys.
