Question lift question

i have had my 3" RC on for several months now and now with all the other crap on it now, im looking for a wee bit more lift....i was thinking .5" blocks in the rear and a .75" spacer upfront....my question is will i get any vibes or anything from it? i dont get anything now, but the 31's are starting to look stuffed, or maybe ive just gotten used to and it and want bigger. any info appreciated!

There is honestly no way to tell until you lift it to know if you will have vibes. But since your lifting it less then an inch, if you do get vibes, a 1 inch tcase drop will fix them

X2, I tend to agree, shouldn't cause much of a problem.

I had the basic RC 3" kit on my 1996 XJ...

I was already running a SYE so I did not have any problems however I have no clue how you set yours up...

I think it will 1. Ride like crap. 2. Sag fast. This making you have to replace with a full pack. A full pack is money well spent IMO.
