A few months ago my best friend Justin lifted his 96 xj which in turn really motivated me.
I then decided to get a Rubicon Express 3.5" Superride lift with full leafs, I lucked out a found Comp D-Windows on 31" BFG KM's on Craig's list, also got a flow master exhuast 40 series with cat.(sounds awesome) and HID's.
