If you look at the top of this section in the sticky threads, the very first one has exactly what you are looking for. There are pages and pages and....you get the hint...of XJ's with all different sizes if lifts and tire combinations.

What your buying with any entry level lift are the springs and leafs, most of the cost and the quality of those mean a lot. One of the best kits offered cost/quality wise is the Rustys 3" full spring/leaf kit, they hold up well over time with zero sag. I currently run a Rustys 4 1/2" lift and it looks like most of the photos on here are of it.
Here is an earlier photo of mine with the Rustys 3" kit on it in the mountains and snow, all I can find right now.

Avoid AAL's at all costs all of our old XJ's have worn rear leaf springs to begin with. Not to pick on the post above but as you can see the rear is lower than the front even if it is on an incline in the drive its still low. When a lift is installed the rear should be a little higher than the front just like on a stock setup when new.
All old things like myself get worn out with age and things start breaking down on myself as on my XJ we just try to stay on top of a few of them.
Black Sunday no offence meant about your XJ as mine has its share of problems also but have saw that a number of times when AAL's were used (sag in the rear) instead of full leaf packs.

Fred I don't take offense to that one bit, but I actually wish my back end was a lil lower than the front as that is the look I like which is why I didn't go with a full pack. It's just the way I took the pic, I will try and post a normal pic so you guys can see how it actually sits
