Any current sales? I am looking for a 3" to 3.5" lift for my 93 XJ. It looks like Rough Country or Iron Rock fit my budget fairly well. I will spend 80% of my time on the road, the remaining 20% is for trails.

Does a 3" save me a whole lot in stability, gas mileage, and changes to the power train versus a 3.5"?

What do you guys recommend? Any sales I might not be aware of?

if you install it yourself. (it saves a lot of money)

I would get the rough country series 2 kit with an adj track bar and full leafs in the back.
Now if you want it to drive like stock or better sense you drive a lot on the road you will need to upgrade to Bilstien shocks.

I have the rough country series 2 3" lift and i love it. I got the full springs and adj track bar. I wish i would have just gotten the HD track bar. its only a few$ more. It does however ride very stiff. I feel all the bumps and pot holes in the road. This is because the shocks suck. I plan to upgrade to bilstiens when i go bigger.

blistens are very expensive and will make your ride smooth as can be but if your gonna lift n wheel a rig i feel money should be spent elsewhere on other mods then on shocks but thats me. i would go with either rustys or RC for price and quality. the RC series 2.2 shocks ride very smooth for there price.

So it looks like for approx. $700 I can get the Rough Country 3" II kit with full leaf pack and upgrade to RC 2.2 shocks. Seem like a good deal? Are the shocks considerably better than the Nitro 9000 shocks?

Thanks.

I am running a Rough Country 3" with JK Rubicon shocks... it honestly rides better than stock

There is really no stability gas price difference between 3-3.5" and I have the nitro 9000s and I hate them! They are okay for offroad(nice and stiff) but I feel every bump and pot hole! The jk shocks are a great alternative for 3" lift shocks! I wish I would have done this! And you can find them all over the classifieds on many jeep forums! I tried to get the 2.2 RC shocks but they told me they did not have them for the 3" lift.

you could extend the shock mounts... as in make them further apart
