Suggestions regarding Rough Country lift kit
I have decided to get the Rough Country "1984 - 2002 Jeep XJ Cherokee 3" Series II Suspension" for my 2001 Cherokee. The only questions I have is wether or not I need the "X-Flex Adjustable Arms" that are listed as an upgrade for $179.95, and what it actually does. Also, which shocks I should get. The kit comes with "N2.0", but offers "PERF.2.2" as an upgrade for $100.00. The last thing is if anyone knows the name of the person I need to contact here on the forums to get the Rough Country discount, that would be great! Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!!!

I run a stock 2000 xj right now (in college SOO budget is very limited). I was going to do just spacers and shackles for a little clearance on the trails I go camping on. But I've also found myself another set of stock leaf springs (mine are pretty much flat). I was going to just swap them but I think I'm going to use the new one with the main spring from my old one as well. I also have a free set of zj v8 front coils. So with all I that I should gain around three inches, correct? What other things am I going to need to do all of this safely?
