What is the best riding 3-4" lift. Brand wise? I'm even up to a long arm? Can you get a close to stock ride at that height???

Absolute favorite would be OLD MAN EMU but your looking at a 900$ kit for about 3 inches but its a complete suspension. I am running this guy in heavy duty.

Otherwise Rubicon Express offers two 3.5 full suspensions lift kits RE6025 Super-RideTM System and RE6030 Super-FlexTM System. Personally I like the Super-Ride if don't plan on doing any heavy duty off-roading. Only thing I would get in the future is a slip yolk eliminator kit. Otherwise everyone can go crazy here telling you about Zone Offroad, Rough Country and Rustys offroad. Its all preference and how much your willing to spend. There are a million different ways to raise a Cherokee.

Knowing what the OEM spring rates are compared to what you plan on installing will help. Closer to stock rates= closer to stock ride.

I got the RE 3.5in lift, Rubicon express FTW. I netted 5 inches in the rear and i added jks acos to level it out in the front or people use 1inch coil spacers.

I assume the super flex and the super ride have the same ride qaulity, only difference in the super flex has flex joints on one side of the the lower control arms and sway bar disconnects.

Same here. But I bought junk skyjoker shocks, don't make that mistake. Still need some spacers up front though.

Great input. I heard OME only did a 1.5" lift? I'd pay the money if
They had a three. I have a Zone lift AAL. AND it is the Worst ride. Im not
Sure a set of new springs in back will have it ride like I want. The front Zone coils and pucks I have ride stiff. It's already older than six months too

XJJeff- did your OME 1.5ift give you more than 1.5"? Could you add a rear shackle and front OME pucks to get 3"?

Old Man Emu lift ( It is cheaper to Piece together the kit and buy it as a whole )

Rubicon Express with Bilstein 5100's ( Also a great riding set-up an is also cheaper to piece together )

I personally run a Rubicon Express 3.5" with Bilstein 5100's and it rides just as nice as my buddys XJ that has a 3" OME lift

What RE did you go with? I see they have a couple different ones at 3.5

I pieced together my re lift I used the 3.5" Extreme Duty coils/ Full leafs

I have the part #'s in my build thread

RE FTW!
Bilstein FTW!
Serious Long Arms FTW!!

I am really considering your Long Arms for my XJ around Christmas or Income Tax time. Will it work with my RE 3.5" springs " I also like that you use the Tera Joints an I can get them all day long since Teraflex is located 10 minutes from my house !

I got about almost 3 inches after they settled I got around 2.75 inches of lift after everything. I am only running leaf spring, coils and new ubolts. Rubicon Express with Bilstein shocks are nice. When I am buying new shocks I am looking at the new Old Man Emu Sport Shocks.

I've got the Zone 3" and it rides just as good as it did stock...if not better. In the end though you get what you pay for and OME and RE can't be beat for ride quality, performance, and reputation.
