im still 15, and for all of ya guys who have lifted your xj and other mods, how much would it cost me to lift it like 3.5" and include any other mods i would need to add to keep from breaking anything? especially what size tires are recommended for 3.5" w/o having to trim it

I bought my XJ when I was 27. Wish I had gotten one years ago, though my driving record may have been a little more tarnished had I gotten a Jeep when I was young and stupid.
Wait... I'm still young and stupid... or maybe it's the Jeep in me.

Got my '92 seven years ago when i turned 16, it was my first vehicle. First modification was the lift, within the first few months it was up 4.5" on the stock 215s (what a sight). I didnt know a lot of technical stuff back then but knew i wanted it jacked up. Haha
