OK guys, so I am wanting to lift my XJ. If I went with this RC 3inch what else would I need to go with it? http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep_xj_3.html
Do I need adjustable track bars, or the SYE kit, or the transfer case drop bracket? I keep getting diff answers from people I know so maybe someone on here has a solid answer for me or is running the same kit. Thanks.

Are MJ and XJ leaf springs the same, length wise? I'm wondering if I could take the rear axle from an xj with leafs and install it on an mj? Also would shackle relocation kits, like rough country's work on an mj?

the kit doesn't offer longer brake lines, front sway bar discos, or track bar options.
the need for a sye kit is jeep by jeep but good rule of thumb is 3 inch and up will need it eventually, and a t-case drop kit is only a band-aid that robs ground clearance.
research everything...

good luck

Realistically, it's just the system Jeep uses to designate their vehicles.
