Looking at Lifts. I am leaning toward the 5.5" RE Long Arm kit. It will run about $2500 with shocks. Then I have to take care of the SYE then drive shafts. When all is said and done I will probably have 5K in the jeep before Rims and tires. That is if I dont swap to FSJ Axles. Hmm... Too many options.

when you call them your talking to the guy that own and make the kits there very great guys down home good ole boys very helpfull
i have the 5.5 RE kit and am currently installing it on my 98 xj. it has everything you need, i got mine for A LOT less than the prices you see online. i ordered tires weels lift shocks...all at the same time and got a great deal. use quadratec.com just dont bother with the RE shocks...been on back order for about 100 years...no seriously i ordered them in oct...still not in stock but i went with bilsteins 5100. your gonna need a sye (i used advanced adapters) very easy and complete package. over all i would reccomend the kit, it has adj track bar, relocate brackets, all your brake lines, front bumpstops.. the only thing i needed to buy i didnt get the first time was shims and bar pin eliminators(only cause i bought bilstein eye-eye shocks) this was me in your position a few months ago...

now with some work its getting there and lloks like this..



I have part numbers and everything youll need, lemme know if you decide to go with it and i would be glad to help ya out

ehhh..a little i guess...but when you look at it, anyhting thats gonna lift your jeep 4+ inches and be worth the time/money its gonna be pricey. rubbers alone were over 1000 for five tires... so your looking at at leat 2000+ for a cheaper lift that probly dosnt come with everything your gonna need
the lift, shocks, SYE..the basics pretty much, cost me about 2300
