I installed a RE 3.5 Super ride kit in my XJ and got 4.5 / 5" out of it with full leaf packs.

I think most lifts are higher then advertised. I think a read a few posts on here saying that the RC 3inch lifts were a few inches higher, and same with the 4.5. there's a thread on here somewhere saying how people like the RC lifts. but I heard bad things about RC , but good things also. but more bad things then good things. so that made me want to not get RC.
