Default Lift Kit Advice

Well I have finally gotten to a place to where I can lift my XJ (permission from my wife actually) I was going to go with a Rubicon Express 3.5 or 4.5 inch system, but since RE is not open at the moment and no one knows when or if they will reopen , I was wondering if anyone had any feed back on quality lift kits, that I don't have to sacrifice my first born to get. Any feed back is welcome.

Clayton 4.5 in short arm or long arm system. better then RE or RC any day of the week. You spend a little more money with a clayton kit but get a much better product and more for your money then with RC.

dont look at the price look at what your getting for the money. you get JKS dicos, a JKS track bar flex control arms. extend brake lines and shims for the rear axle. you don't get that with RCs kit. you have to buy all that extra. Just because its cheep dose not mean its a good lift. do it once you save money that way.
