Default New guy here!

Hello everyone! I am a new jeep owner and new on here. About 3 weeks ago I bought myself a 98 XJ Sport. For now its all stock. All I have done to it so far is add a 3D Mag light and Quadratec floor mats. Its nothing much but here are a couple pics.

Thanks! Yea I plan on doing around a 3" lift and some 31's. Just not sure what kind of lift I want to get. I am looking at the rough country and rubicon express lifts.

Thats awesome, I used to have Rough Country and Currently have Rubicon Express. I had the RC add a leaf kit, that got me exactly 3" After about a year I was down a lil under 2.5", did its job for a year, for 270 I can't complain but wont ever order from them again. My current RE 3.5" springs gave me 4.5" in the front and 5" in the back, had to do a SYE and all the fun ****. Check out my Build Thread so you can see the difference in the RC vs. RE with 31s

What I did was order the RE 3.5 coils and Leafs from 4wp. I previously had some warrior LCAs, but I had my buddy build me long arms, and got some Bilstein 5100's in the size I want. I think I paid the same if not less than ordering a "Kit". I wasn't expecting to need need a SYE but my buddy traded me for some metal

Good to know. Thanks! I was also thinking about looking into piecing some stuff together rather buying a kit. What leafs did you buy from 4wp?

Thank you! She has a tad bit of surface rust in small areas but not too much.

Thanks! I love them. The snow has been melting here and its been pretty muddy so it has been nice having them. They are really heavy duty and fit perfect as well.

You do save a ton buying the kit though. PM me if you want a quote on something.

Enjoy the new Jeep!

Where in NoDaK! I spend all of November chasing ducks, deer, pheasant and geese, then usually in August it's early goose, start of bow season and walleye fishing! Love NoDak, except for those damn cold winters and summer bugs that come out at night.
