Default XJ budget lift?

I am looking for a 2.5 to 3" lift for my xj. i dont want to spend more than 700 dollars (if even possible) but dont want a generic lift that will leave me hanging, or slouching. Also what size tires can i stuff in WITHOUT trimming fenders/flares?

dang 700 bucks to spend on a just a 3" lift. I'd go with 4.5" rough country, which will only run you about 500. But order it through grimmus and he'll give you a little discount on it.

Yes shocks are included in the RC kit. I recomend getting the nitro shock upgrade if you want a better ride. Also most will say go with the full spring pack. But I opt for saving some cash and building a set of s-10 bastard packs.

As for the discount just look for grimuss, drop him a pm and tell him what you want. RC has great customer service. Also you can check out there web site at www.roughcountry.com
