Would like some opinions if possible
I have been looking around on here for a few months and love all the information that is here and everyone seems pretty cool. I figured it was time to introduce myself, before i just ask a question.
My name is anthony and i live in east tn. I purchased a white 98' cherokee classic a few months ago and have been drooling over all of the different things i can do with her.
My wife has informed me that she wants me to sit down and figure out exactly which lift I want and what tires. Now I am def not going to question her and I am not one who wants to disappoint my wife by denying her the joy of me being happy
I have decided I am either going with a 3" lift and 31s or the rubicon express super-ride....I have searched and found a lot of good information here but I guess what I am looking for is just personal opinions with lifts. So far I have it narrowed down to Rough Country, Zone Offroad, Rusty's, or Rubicon Express......I know this is a broad subject that has been asked many many times and i do apologize, but it is hard to keep all of the info sorted...... so any opinions, info, suggestions of any kind would be helpful.
and thank you for all of the great info that you have already given me.

I own an RE Super Flex 3.5" lift from before the restructuring that they went through... I love mine and recommend it if you are going to drive yours regularly and trail it also. They quality of the parts was amazing and to this day ( nearly 4 years later ) it still functions amazing and has never given me any trouble. But that is all my personal experience.

Give http://dpgoffroad.com/ a call, talk to them tell them what future you see in your vehicle and they'll give you a solid reccomendation. A couple guys there drive XJ's so they have direct experience. Personally, I reccomend getting OME, they build a system as oppsed to a lift and staying at 2" not as many parts are necessary. Get there full packs and a shackle for 3".
What size tire are you lookig to run?

I like it a lot. Perfect for a DD IMO. Capable offroad, if you choose the right lines, more so if I had lockers. Handles a load, tows, very well and sits as high as the day I put it on, 5 years ago. The only "issue" I have is that it rides stiffer unloaded, so I just keep a tote bungee'd down loaded with some fluids, straps, etc. etc. ~50 lbs of junk back there all the time.
16' deep V 50 hp merc, 2-2500lbs handled 60+ mph up through mountain twisty rds in May (older pic for reference)
