i have 5" on the back and am going to do the front when i get a nice day but i have nothing but the lift and i get no vibes on the highway for the back. the front only has 2" right now.

i have 31s and i lost alot of get up and go. if you are going to run larger tires like 33s, get a better ratio in your diffs, like 4.10 or something

Your XJ has a low pinion diff so you cant go as high as the last guy without more mods.Youll need a tc drop,adjustable tracbar,lcas and someone might be able to add on from here.

You need a big wad of cash to throw at it for sure. Sye for sure adjustable control arms and track bar comes to mind

Amount of cash makes a difference. I recently bought a Rough Country 4.5" long arm lift kit with Advance Adapters SYE & Tom Woods rear CV driveshaft. Lift kit included rear leaf springs full pack, brake lines, skid plates, control arms, shocks,coil prings,drop pitman arm, sway bar disconnects, & moves lower control arms back & lower for just under $1700 from Morris 4x4 Center.
