my opinion is just go 4.5" from the get go, cause that is about the limit on your stock steering and stock drive shafts, plus who doesnt love 4.5"???

what options have you come up with so far??

-what lift kit do you recomend..

First you need to determine your price range.

There are many good short arm kits out there.

cheap and easy kits are:

rusty's(nice ride can be hit or miss some times)
rough country(rough ride, meant for the weekend wheeler and come in short and long arm types)


a bit more money you look into
Rubicon Express(over built for good quality)
BDS(heard good things about them)
IRO(heard good things about them as well)
clayton's(heard amazing things about them.)
OME(best ride quality you can get for your xj)
