My initial lift is 3". then I added a budget boost because I really wanted to be at 4.5
So I am one of those who had 3 and wanted bigger, only because I wanted a certain look. I never even saw what she looked like with 3". I just know me...lol

You are a perfect example of why a 3in lift is hard to beat. And that is because you can easily go another inch or two if you want

31s and a 3" lift is proportionate to stock; so it will look stock like until it is next to a stock XJ.
