OP, opt for the transfer drop and 3.5" lift and sell/swap for 31's. Or save a few more dollars for an SYE and a few more parts... but if it's not gonna run rocks you might find that the 3.5" will suffice on scenic backcountry trails.
RE is a quality kit, superride arms are gonne be less manitenance and no clunking when the joints need service. I would opt for adjustables though so you can dial in for the best suspension geometry.
thanks Overland. and ya i thought i would need a TC drop. and i dont do much rocks so i think the 3.5" will do for now. and you dont think i could squeeze them 32's in there on a 3.5" lift? even if i trim the fenders?Originally Posted by OverlandXJ
You guys stating no vibes all have pre 95 XJ's, they changed the transfer case outputs making the driveshaft slightly shorter resulting in vibes with LESS lift in the later XJ's.OP, opt for the transfer drop and 3.5" lift and sell/swap for 31's.

in all seriousness i believe it's 3" past the fender flare, but ive never heard of my buddies gettin pulled over for his tires and they stick out a 5" + past the fender flares so i dont think ill have issues there.

go with the rubicon express you get what you pay for and you wont get any vibes with the 3.5 superflex for 32 inch tires you might rub a little but nothing a little trimming cant fix

ive heard rubicon nets 1-1.5 inches more than they say but what about RC? im having the same dilemna as the OP. looking at the RC 4.5" then people are saying RE 3.5" so now im stuck
