Can't decide what to do with this thing...
(Backstory) Up until about 2 months ago my xj was lifted around 4.5", on 32's, aftermarket bumpers, etc. I sold everything and went back to stock to sell. Problem is...I don't think I can. I can't make enough off it to get anything decent so I'm gonna be keeping it.
Ok anyways. I wanna lift it again. I know I'm an idiot, shouldn't have taken mine to stock in the first place, blah blah I know I'm stupid lol. I have about 1500 to play with. I wanna run a 4.5" lift, 31's or 32's again. I am most likely gonna buy some cheap coils, then do a bastard pack. Buy some ironman 4x4 lca's, a Iro or equivalent track bar and call it good.
My main concern is mpg. My biggest problem before was 12 mpg thanks to stock gears, 32's and a tired motor. And I'm runnin into the same problem as before...can't afford to get my axles geared. I really don't know what to do at this point, with any of it. I need some helpful advice, suggestions regarding what parts I should get, or if I should get em at all lol.

see if you can find a set of 3.73 geared axles from a cherokee with a factory tow package. (some had em). and go with a little smaller tires. 30x9.50, or 31's. you wont get the same as a stocker, but better than b4.
