Ya I went back and noticed that the other kit you were referencing about was the same kit I posted for ya. Honestly I would say that would be the better way to go. Then the budget boost you were original looking at. And yes later on down the road when you can afford it you can get the full leaf packs from rough country. Or a rough country supplier.

Cool.. I'll probably go this route then, it won't break the bank and will give me the lift I need for the 31's i just picked up.. Hopefully won't look foolish with the stock tire that will be on 90% of the time..

I had a 3" lift and 31's awhile ago and had no rubbing issues I had plenty of room for the 31's. But then I decided to trim my fenders and add 33's and still had plenty of room with just the 3" lift. But now im at 6.5" lift and when my 33's finally where out i'll go to 35's. I would just say run the 31's all the time and sell the stock tires for some extra loot for something else.

i have been running the tereflex bb for about 6 months. 10,000 miles or so. i have beaten the hell out of my xj and the lift i have never had an issue. i would get sway bar discos and longer shocks though. thats whats goin to limit you the most at first. i have done pretty much every trail around here with just a 2". guys askin all the time if its stock. that extra 2" makes all the difference

Stock size, not stock tire, they only have about 1500 miles on them. I'll be keeping those on 90% of the time.... The 31's have about half tread on them, so they are strictly for off road use. We'll only go a few times a year, so it's best to keep it in that configuration for optimum wear..

Fat Bob's 2" spacer and shackle kit on ebay is only 80" it comes with 1.5-2" shackles and a 1.75" spacer, personally if I were to do a spacer lift I wouldn't want to go over 2 inches
