Sounds like a good deal wheels are like 60 each new and tires are probably close to 200 each new

It's a matter of opinion, and your shocks will be a huge factor.

I had Skyjacker coils and 4dr JK Rubicon shocks on mine. I liked the stiff ride, but my passengers hated it. It's a matter of preference.

Default Thanks!

Thanks to those of you here at cherokee forum, I finished my lift!
My 3" lift consisted of:

1. '94 Dodge Dakota leafs attached to '89 xj main leaf
2. Autozone lift shackles
3. New u-bolts and such
4. Rough country 3" lift kit without rear suspension (4 shocks)

In the rear, I netted about 5.5 inches of lift (and i plan to lower it by one inch)
In the front I netted around 3.5 inches

Thanks again for the help

P.S. my xj is still in transformation mode so don't rag on me for my excessive body damage, its recovering from a rollover
Also, I know I'm missing a rear shock, I'm having it welded in....

The pics show both before and after (I'm sure you can tell which is which)

Why would we rag you for excessive body damage? I brag about body damage on a daily basis.
