@Sota, There are many of us running ~2" lifts here, and a lot of discussion if you do a search.
Here are a few examples:

heres what I did, I think it was cheaper than dirks package, its around 3+" for sure. I order:
- OME kit from quadratec, it came with the 930 coils and cs033rb leafs
- OME stabilizer from quadratec
- RE 1.75" spacer from quadratec
- moog bushings and upper control arms from Rockauto
- Rustys adj trackbar, fixed lowers for 3" lift from rustys
the thing is dirks lifts take awhile to get to you, and his shipping cost in my opinion are a tad high. quadratec has free shipping and are located right in PA so I received everything with a couple days from them. same with rockauto, takes 3 days to get their parts. regardless I think compared to dirks prices I saved a couple hundred or more. the results of the lift are great, the rear has dropped a tad as its broken in- the pic below is prob within a week of install.
not knocking dirk as he definitely knows his stuff when it comes to the XJ and setting it up right, but theres ways to save a few sheckles and get the same results
