After driving my aunts 04 camry for a week on my vacation hopping in the jeep to go to work was absolutely shocking. I felt 6 feet in the air and holy crap I hadn't realized how bad the steering and brakes had gotten.
Gonna order a durango steering box and the last few bits I need to swap the rear to discs.

i suppose my own narcissism is at play here but when i first read that i thought for sure it was bait for me to tell you what a freaking idiot you are for expecting authority or respect in return for helping people.

Morning all, exciting day here. Headed out to Grimms to get me a pair of lifted coil springs for dirt cheap!
I REALLY hope these are still there.

Just decent ride quality w/~4" of lift. I acquired my XJ with a basic Rusty's 3" lift and haven't gotten around to replacing it with something better until now. I hear reviews on how well long arms ride on the street and figured the IRO would be a good bet. I don't get to go wheeling all that often and this is more of a daily driver for me these days, I just cannot stand the jarring ride I get from the current setup. Anything that'll bump me up a tad (enough to clear 32/33" tires in the future) and that provides a better ride than now would be great.

Hmm. Quick and dirty without knowing what shape the XJ is in i'd say for a smooth ride under 4" (worm) I would match something like this RE kit

with a set of these:

There are a few other items you might want to consider such as replacing the track bar, installing a sye and shackle relocation brackets. These items all affect ride quality but it just depends on how far you want to take it. IMHO I don't think you need to go long arm.
