Man, first some jerks steal your jeep, you get it back, then some more jerks slash your tires! What's the world coming to these days. I hope the Jeep Gods smile upon you soon and grant you some good Jeep karma, lol. Awesome XJ by the way, score on those Moabs. Green Jeeps FTW.

Soooo it's been awhile. Work and life has been good to me so I'm going to buy more Jeep parts!! Matching Front Coils (OME) New shocks all around for 2.5" of lift New stabilizer shock Extended braided brake lines Also some Maintenance parts: front pads, rotors and calipers. Plans after this will be flat fender flares and slightly bigger tires but not sure what I'm going to go with yet. I have good tread on my current tires so no rush!

I'd have to measure but won't be home for a bit.

As for inches of lift I think they will be 2.5" or 3"

Side note I'm going to remove the rear sway bar. Should've done it with the lift originally but my guy said not a good idea. Reading posts about it I feel it's a great idea!
