Need opions or options
Have had my 97 XJ for a week now and already tinted the windows and added keyless entry/remote start. Now on to the more important stuff.
I'm going to lift it. I was dead set on rough county 4.5" x-series but now a local said to look into rubicon express and they ride better. I'm looking to keep my jeep a dd but use it for some wheeling.
Next is gears. Is it a must to change my gears and if so where should I shop for them and how hard are they to install.
Next interior. The floor are really bad I'm gonna try and shampoo them this week. If I don't like it. What are my options to a new interior. Seats are getting replace also.
Thanks
Matt

i have the RC 4.5" with 2" coil spacers and my jeep rides great...and im not sure but i think RC and RE r made at the same place plus your better ride comes from a better shock

Yes I have been reading as much as I can on the different kits. I am now leaning towards RE but I must say it is a tough decision.

That's what I am trying to figure out. I don't want add a leafs but I'm going to try and see how it will cost to upgrade an RE kit. I also want and adjustable arm also
