Default Best 4-4.5 in lift

Hi guys, I wanna buy a lift for my xj and need it to be exelent on road and off road. I would like to do some high speed off road too. I have heard great things about lots of different manufactures but I don't know who to go for. I have a welder and am extremely mechanicly inclined so I can tackle just about any installation. Thanks.

Buy Brand X. It's the bomb-digity and it's cheap on e-bay!
Forum Member B
Brand X sucks more than yo momma! I had that junk on my heep for about a week and it all broke.
Forum Member C
Brand X used to be good till they started making it in Not-Ameri-Stan

Bottom line...
Research and google before opening a "What's best?" thread.

That's just the thing, everybody claims their kit is the best, this is why I created a new thread. I know there are threads that talk about lift kits but I wanted to know what the majority of the people run so I won't be wasting my money. I also wanted to make my topic apparent so I would get a quick response to my question witch you have failed to answer. So thanks a lot for showing me my question.

My point is that there is no "Best'.

The only answer that matters is to buy the kit that suites your needs, terrain and budget....regardless of brand or other peoples opinions.

I understand where you are coming from however I just needed a little push in the right direction as to if there were and kits out there that fit my needs stated at the top of the thread. That would save me a lot of time looking at different company's and scrounging through different threads. I'm not looking for an argument.

That's the thing, we don't know you. Where you live. What your driving consists of. Or what offroading you actually see. So what's good for the goose isn't always good for the gander. So by you researching, you'll find answers instead of having people do it for you.

Sorry for bieng stupid guys. I apologize. I got caught in the moment and I was acting like a fool. After a look back I can see how arrogant I was and I am sorry. I have dicided to go with the Clayton 4.5" long arm kit. I have heard nothing but great good things from Clayton products and have considered them as an option before. Again I apologize and I hope We can continue to be fellow jeepers.

I think you will be pleased with your choice, I know that I would.

Good luck.
