ehhh true. if you get those Pick up lowering shackles from most parts stores i heard they actually give XJs two more inches of lift in the reer so u wont have rubbin back there. but how to get u level again is then an issue.....i would say replace your three inche in the front with a 5 inch but thats pricey.

try discount tires. trust me. they arent the best but they are better then baldies... u could always try to find some 31 wrangler mts. I found a set of them at big O that would fit my jeep perfect for just 300 bucks. they were used but they had plenty of rubber left on them. and they were cheaper then the 400 dollar new cheapy street tires Big O tried sellin me...
Are the lower bushings in stock 98' xj rear shocks the same size as the lower bushings in the rear of JK shocks? I replaced my shocks with 2012 jk rubi shocks however the lower bushings need to be replaced. If they are the same size I can press them out of the stock height shocks and press them in the jk shocks. Any idea?

Ok I'm getting one of the three in the next couple days, either,
3" rough country with AAL.. $255
Or
3". Zone lift with AAL.. $300
Or
3" Rusty lift with AAl.. $365
Which one? Is there discount codes on them? How can I get free shipping with RC?

I have RC products not bad price or quality but I DONT have they're leaf springs which seems the biggest complaint.
I just ordered a spacer, boomerang shackles and BPE from Zone, got a great price through the guy in the vendor section who sells Zone. Maybe check that out.
