im running RC and its alright i guess

do i need stabilizers or axle mounts?

Xj88

Im not dissing RC by any means, Ive rode with both and the prices are almost exact, in my opinion Rustys Offroad provides a more comfortable lift. Anyways...the lift should come with absolutly everything you need. If you want to purchase the steering stabilizer you can but it is not necessary. Also if your not mechanically inclined you better plan on paying $200+ to have someone install the lift. They arent hard to install, but can be time consuming.

Here is some info you may want. First it looks like you have BFG All Terrain Tires on your jeep already..these are pretty expensive tires, I wouldnt trade them unless the tread is really low (which it looks like they are good). A stock jeep usually sits on 235/75/15 size tires which are about 28.5 inches tall. However you have bigger tires already under your stock suspension. Im guessing your tires are 30x9.5s. When you install the 3 inch lift you can fit up to 31 inch tires. If you dont have the $ for new 31s when you lift it keep your current tires on it until you can afford the 31 inch tires.

Also, before you start paying a mechanic to do stuff post on here what your problem is, id be happy to help you out on stuff I am familiar with and give you estimates of what it should cost to fix youself or what a mech. should charge, dont pay a mechanic to do a tune up...they are simple! Let me know what all questions you have and ill help you out bud..hate to see an xj owner dump money on simple stuff that could have been done at a fraction of the cost!

Thanks for the heads up. The problem is these tires are sooo loud. Im thinking with the new lift it will help the ride and noise tremendously but i still think they may be a little loud and sucks my gas faster then needed..? I was thinking of trading those all terrain tires for something a little more road worthy for now at least. Was gonna try Craigslist. I do use the car on a daily basis sooo..

The mechanic was gonna do a tune up but also do a full cleaning job. He said it includes cleaning out gunk in engine, running solutions through the engine and oil to remove gunk, and tune the engine, as well as some other cleaning stuff and would charge $300. Now your saying i could easily do this myself??? I am very DIY with almost everything else in life, computers,tech,aquariums,and pretty much anything other then cars so when i say i am a noob i mean it. lol

I dont like to waste money so if i could get an objective quote that would be awesome!!!

I think this front end looks sweet i would love to get something similar. Anyone know where i can get the front grill and bumper u see here, that would fit my 94 2 door. Also looking to upgrade headlights as i like to see at night lol. Maybe these tires as well because they look road worthy!? Soo many questions Sorry... I can take some pics of the engine and interior if it will help..
