Take your time cuz they are everywhere. Take a notebook and pen with you and write down stuff about each one you find and share that information with us. We can help ya choose the best one, unless you already have your mind set on a particular one.

I traded my tj for the first clean xj i found and i didn't even look it over throughly. I got lucky with the 8.25, low mileage, clean interior/exterior and all that but it was owned by a college chick that didn't change any of the fluids for 80k miles.

Good luck!

Looks pretty clean, I am not a fan of the lift but that is up to your discretion.

Personally I wouldn't run Pro Comp on a Jeep. Their lifts are designed for full size trucks (show trucks). Additionally their kits aren't as complete as other manufactures out there and their joints arent what I consider to be up to decent standard.

I would run RC over ProComp.
