Default 1993 jeep grand cherokee 5.2 lift

I am wanting to install a 4" or more lift on my jeep. I like the rough country x-flex just wanting to know if anyone knew of any better lifts out their for the price under $1,000?

The only prob I have is the crossmem spacers they sent dropped it to far and my TC linkage popped out of the groument called RC and they told me they had no clue what to do. Go figure.... so I washer spaced the link bracket on the trans. I will get a pic for you

You got an additional 2" spacer front and rear on top of a 4" lift?

You can do 33's on 3.5", and 35's on 4.5" if you really break out the sawzall. I've trimmed my fenders and I've got new 35" KM2's on a sagging 5.5".

why do you want to get a 4" lift and put 2" spacers on it? you will not like driving it, trust me i did it. if you wanna go that high why not save up for a long arm kit? also what do you wanna run 35's so bad for? i dont know what year your zj is but if you have the dana 35 in the rear your gonna be snapping shafts everytime you go offroad.
