Hey guys,
I have a 2000 Jeep XJ that is currently at 3 inches of lift, I bought it from the previous owner that way. It currently has stock coils up front, with spacers and what looks like the original track bar, and I added a Rusty’s HD tie rod. In the rear it has 3 inch OME leafs, which are saggy. It has skyjacker shocks throughout, which are about shot. I have added a steel stinger bar in the front, with a roof rack and full size spare on the roof, with plans for a rear tire carrier bumper. She’s a hefty girl. I am planning on freshening up the lift kit and starting from scratch. Up front, I am planning on Rusty’s 3 inch coils, and the adjustable track bar, along with OME shocks and BPE’. In the rear, I am planning on Rusty’s 3.5 inch leafs, along with OME shocks and BPE’s. I was wondering how this sounds to the more expierenced guys. I was also wondering if I should look into adding no lift shackle relocation boxes since I plan on running stock shackles? Also. I was wondering how the OME shocks perform? I am really wanting my shocks to match all around to include the steering stabilizer, so that narrows down my options to OME, Fox (I would have to sell a kidney) and Skyjacker. I am really wanting to go with equipment that will last a long time; as I don’t see myself going higher at this point. Thank you very much! Attached is a photo of how my Jeep sits currently!

I would go with the Rubicon Express 3.5" coils over the Rusty's ones, both are good but RE is a better deal, their shocks are good also.

I prefer RE also. Ten years on mine and no problems

Both are good, get whichever one you can get the best deal on, Amazon has the RE coils for cheaper.

Keep in mind almost all 3" coils are super heavy spring rate in the 240# range. Except Rusty's and RC. Stock spring rate is 147#. If you're set on 3" springs stay with Rusty's. The rest of your plan really is preference. Shackle relocation boxes are a must do IMO.
