Default thinking of a new lift

ok my buddy has a 2000 XJ and its completly stock. But about a week ago he just ordered a 8.5 long arm kit lift with all the other goodies he will need. i was the biggest cherokee around and still am untill i help him install the lift. all i have is a 6.5in lift and i want to go bigger but not so sure if i am. i want to be at least as tall as his or taller, cause im like that. But i dont want to run 35's...yet. so if anybody has any pics of a 8.5 to 10.5in lift with only 33x12.5s so i can see if it looks decent or just wierd it would be many types of awsome.

This is just stupid. Battle of the lifts. You must be in high school or something. 10in of lift on 33's is looking to be ROLLED OVER! At 6.5 you are at a height that most people would love to be at no need to go any higher, watch your friend roll his XJ then you will be the tallest in town again.

I had 33" Pro Comp XT's under 7.5 inches and thought it looked pretty good. Not sure about much higher than that though, without going to axle upgrade/35's.
