Lift Kit Purchase Recommendations - Budget Limited
Pretty easy question I guess.
What is the most comprehensive lift kit ( 3" ) that can be bought for less than $500.00
I have a 1996 two door XJ and it is time to put on new shocks, I figure if I am going to fight that battle I might as well get some real benefit and throw in a lift.
Not sure how big of a fight I want to take on, I'd like to put new leaf springs on but hear the front bolts can be a real nightmare.
If $500.00 is not enough I guess I could be bumped to say $750.
Not really looking to wheel this thing but I stole a set of brand new wheels and tires ..... 5 of them off of a Wrangler that a guy lifted and bought new wheels and tires. I got 5 wheels and tires ( 30X9.50R15LT ) for $150.00. Spare has never been used and the 4 on the ground have 1,100 miles on them.
The look like they might rub if I hit a hard bump at speed with the stock setup as it is, so a lift is in order.
Budget Boost is not the way I want to go.
Thanks

Looking for actual kit recommendations within my price range.
Also looking for comprehensive kit, I don't want to get into the job and find out I need to order additional stuff.
Also don't want to " have to " do a Transfer Case Drop or SYE.
From what I understand that limits me to 3" or so.
