I use my Jeep as a DD and weekend wheeler. I've done some pretty crazy stuff in my XJ and the suspension has held up great. I'm talking hitting whoop sections on a dirtbike track doing 45, Ive jumped it, I flex the suspension out at least once a month, I've hit the trails with it, and I even go on those nasty michigan roads that are the equivalent to Moab rock crawling. I've never had an issue, my suspension doesn't sag, etc. The 4.5 inch lift should take the abuse just fine

i really am in need of a new suspension. my leafs are flat and almost reversing. my shocks are shot and i could use new springs. im in the military and on a budget. what is the cheapest lift out there with full leafs? I would like to lift it to 3" but if i could get all the stuff listed above cheaper at stock height or slightly taller i would do that. thanks.

So go with rough country or rubicon xpress I have the rough country xtreme flex and I love it rides great and flexes even better (with the tereflex revolvers of course)

Haha you would be supprised.. Ive seen some home made ones here in LA that are alot bigger than 8".. then again it is nothing but mud down here and if you like jeeps but want to go mudding with the trucks running 44s, your going to have to some major lifting

haha the only way I think you could get them on a xj is to have a very wide/strong set of axles- would look rediculous haha... I mean I run 35 x12s on 6.5 of lift just fine but some of the mud holes here are rediculous... there are some trails I cant go on even with a winch because its just dragging the pumpkins the entire time... lol
