I think 5100 are about the nicest you can get with the stem front. I went stem because every little piece starts to eat your budget. If I find myself with the money for King shocks, I'll find the $50 for BPE's 
In the end they are a better idea IMO, but I am on a budget. I may or may not have had too much to drink and decided on Bilsteins instead of Monroe, haha

I just ordered a 3" Zone lift for my beater (needed new shocks anyway) that I put 4500 miles on in the past year and a half. Will I need to do anything with the rear shackles? If so, what do I need to order?

If you got 3" lift leaf springs, you can reuse your stock shackles.

Probably has been asked a ton, but since this is the official thread, I'll go ahead.
33s on ~4.5 of lift (RC series II 3" plus shackles and spacers), I have my front fenders trimmed, do I absolutely need the rear cut and folded also?

no. you can bumpstop as much as you want so you don't need to trim. but beware, that edge can cut into your tire if you don't bumpstop correctly.

92 stock XJ
I am planning on lifting my 92, it will either be 3" or 4.5". I am going to keep the 31x 10.50s so no re gear, but my question is if I do go with the 4.5 are there any other mechanical issues I need to compensate for? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
