Default anyone use the rusty's 8inch long arm?

hello i am new to the site, just bought a 99 xj and am ordering the rustys 8 inch long arm. i was wondering if anyone has used any of the stuff from rustys, how did you like it? ease of install (i have a lift) quality? also says i can fit 35's but would it be a better decision to run 33's for clearance? i bought the jeep cheap it has been rolled over but runs strong low miles, i knew previous owners so got it for a good price i'll post some pics but would also like some input on how to get the roof back just good enough to get the doors to work properly (the doors are somehow not bent or twisted) thanks hope to get to know you guys as time goes on and maybe do some wheelin with some of you.

I've seen people use a hi lift for getting the roof back into position above the doors
