Nice start! I got 2k too and love it. The only thing is LP D30 in the front is a drag. But is is nice to have all the electronic is it to keep it tuned and running.
Oh I have a blue one and I was looking for a green one. Isnt that the way it works.

Nice XJ! If you dont want to cut and still want 33s then 6.5 is the only way to go. 4.5" and you're looking at a 32" tire max

with the 6.5 lift i had to do the normal trim job on my fenders. with extended bump stops you will have no problems running 33's and not cutting fenders. word of advice rough country is a nice lift to start with but I've had nothing but trouble with their new flex control arms. I have had to rebuild each once already.

yea that seems to be a common problem, but from what ive heard they usually replace the joints. if mine go bad ill just replace them with higher quality joints
