Default PIcs of the new Jeep

This is what I picked up yesterday. It's some sort of purple/blue. So far the NSS probably needs cleaning and the radiator has a leak (driverside bottom of radiator). Ah, the joys of owning a used car. Sorry for my lame attempt to photoshop the plates out of the pic.

No plans, I'd like to keep it stock and fix the problems that it currently has.

The color is a bit interesting. Since I live in Raven's country, I get a lot of complements! I'm looking into a lift kit, the "Tough country" 3" lifts are only $255. Would I need anything else in order to properly lift my xj? Will I have to do anything with axle lengths, ETC? That seems like an low price.

Rough Country 3" Suspension Kit, Full Spring Pack
Tire Clearance: 31x10.50
Includes: Coils, Full Spring Pack, and Shocks

$255??????

seems low, but it sounds ok, to lift it thet high, you'll need an SYE (Slip Yoke Eliminator) and i new rear driveshaft.

Too low? That was the lift I thought about getting. What would you say a good height would be?
