lifting my xj
Just got my first jeep all I've ever had was toyotas I'm wanting to lift it 6.5 I was thinking of doing a 4.5 rough country lift with 2" coil spacers and 2" blocks.....how you think it would do for wheeling and driving daily as mine is a daily driver

depends on your budget. i mean if you do 6.5" of lift you'll want to get sye kit and drive shaft. 35s you're gonna want to regear and probably beef up the axles a little more. i got a 4.5" lift on 33s and it's my trail rig at a pretty low price and i'm pretty happy with that set up for now.. i see that set up you want being decent for dd and wheeling if you do it right.

I'm running the RC 4.5" btw and love it. Though I think I make get flatter leafs and a shackle relocation bracket down the road. And a long arm upgrade is definately in the works
