Wasilla? Assuming your from up here to, always good to see more people from AK on here!

I tried installing 5.5" coils on my xj with just Rubicon express LCA's, the suspension would bind up long before I could get the coils installed. At that hight control arm drop brackets or long arms are really needed.

So now I'm spending a bunch more $ and going 7.5".. Lol

Im sitting with 5" of lift with rough country 3' lift shocks, coils, 2" spacers, fixed lower control arms and stock break lines (relocated them) It all worked out good for me, but the half inch more might make a difference.
