So I would have used the search to look for this but it doesn't work so please don't crucify me if there is another thread already about this. Just point me in the right direction.

I'm looking to lift my 94xj as high as possible without having to do a t-case drop or anything with the driveline. I'm figuring prob no bigger than 3". I'm trying to stay below my budget of $1000 but that includes the lift and tires. So with all your knowledge and past experiences what's the best route for me to go.

Also tires, what will fit depending on how big I go and what's some half decent brands with reasonable prices.
Thanks in advance everyone.

 

Rough country with full leaf packs then buy my almost new 235-75-15 tires sand and paint your stock wheels.

 

get the rough country 4.5" lift its 459.95 & you can run 32s with no fender trim or 33s with fender trim i had it on my 95 xj it was well worth the money so ya figure bout 500 shipped for the lift then 500 for tires u should beable to find a good set of wheels & tires on your local craigslist for that much

 

Any lift over three inch your going to need more stuff a properly done 4.5" lift probably looking at 600-800 with full packs. I need sye with my three inch but i have a 99 some older ones dont but the higher lift the more your likely to need. Im going up but only because i already need sye.

 

X2 look to rough country and see what they have available

 

cant buy a "QUALITY" lift for that price. just saying.

theres a guy on NAXJA selling a rubicon express 4.5" used for right around what you want to spend. even comes with control arms. much better quality then rough country

 

He may not need a SYE my 99 is at 5 inches and no T-Case drop and i have very little vibrations and depending on what type of lift you want to do my 5 inch lift cost me with out my long arms my rear leafs cost 50 bucks made from a bastard pack rough country 3 inch coils 120.00 free 2 inch coil spacers and 140 for shocks it cost me 310 for everything but i also ran stock control arms

 

Look into the re 3.5" lift affordable and a really good lift

 

Rough country is good quality lifts I was very happy with mine and many if my friends have bought from them sence I got money for the money and performance you can't beat RC
Few pics of my 95 with the 4.5" RC flexes good for 500buck short arm lift this is with the add a leafs and shackle for rear lift didn't have the cash to upgrade to full leaf packs then

 

If you think rough country is a good quality lift you are missing a lot in life. They are in the basement of lift kits. They have gotten better over the years. Save your money and buy a QUALITY lift not a rough country brand. Wonder why they are the cheapest lifts out there???? Low quality=low price

 

i drove that jeep daily and beat on it every weekend offroad never had any problems out of anything i had on it from rough country i broke the factory control arm mounts off the axle but nothing from them ever broke or gave me any trouble & i dont see payin twice the money for the same amount of lift basically same kit just has another brand name on it

 

I am looking at getting a Zone Offroad 3" lift. They seem to be good quality at a decent price.

 

this is the farthest from the truth. might want to know what you are talking about

 

People are going to have bad things to say but for how many people run RC stuff there are very few problems and there service is great. Just because someone else didnt need sye doesnt mean anything its not just for vibes, you run the risk of loosing fluid or worse dropping a shaft with the slipyoke out that far and flexing. Please take my advice that you want full leaf packs since you have the money. If it were me id do a 3" RC with arms and full leafs then if you want higher shackle and coilspacer until long arm.

 

Oh and swaybar discos
