3" lift on XJ

I want to know what type of schakles? What is the best way for just a 3" lift (front &back). I don't want to buy a lift kit.

Just get a lift. It's more work and money, but much safer. You'll need to replace the shocks anyways.

Also, get full leaf packs. The rear leafs sag really bad after a few years. My '92 has a 3inch with an AAL kit, my leafs are flat.

RC has a decent priced one. And they come with the shocks or you can get different shocks whatever you prefer.

I am about to purchase the Rubicon Express 3 1/2" Super Ride short arm lift kit for $590.00. It does not come with the shocks, which I like. That way I can choose the ones I want. Comes with new lower control arms and its full leaf springs for the rear.
