Back when I first started with jeeps xj and mj that was what there was a 3 inch super lift. Front coils rear add a leaf and shocks. They held up great back then bought many kits 250.00 shipped back in 97-98 time frame.

Sounds good thank you. I was looking at a Superlift 2.5 inch lift comes with Add a leaf, shocks, coils and front lower control arms. Probably gonna need an adjustable trac-bar.

I wouldn't bother with that, honestly.
Not sure what your budget is, but I will give you a list of "budget-friendly" parts to buy.
Front..
OME 934 coils
straighten hard brake line for more travel
IRO double shear TB/mount
WJ LCA's or aftermarket fixed LCA

Rear..
MJ bastard Pack/extended shackle, find another MJ pack and use the main leaf + maybe another to get height you want. They use 3/8" center pin, so an allen head bolt/nut/washers should work (maybe need to drill out leaf perch hole)

JK Rubi take-off shocks should work just fine. You can probably press the bar pin out of the rear and use in the front shocks.

I actually live close enough to Superlift that I drive up there on occasion and purchase things..
They are always very competitive on pricing and in most cases the cheaper option.
I just re-installed a pair of their coils yesterday.
Have been satisfied with everything I have purchased and used of theirs.

Well, it depends on what you buy from them.
In general, they are cheap.
Skyjacker and superlift are about 25 mins apart down the interstate and they are always cheaper.
But, skyjacker usually costs more than Rubicon express....

From personal experience, the factory MJ rear shocks are longer than the JK Rubicon rear shocks, unsure about the fronts as I'm running some YJ wrangler fronts.
I have MJ rears and YJ fronts on my 4" lifted XJ atm.

I bought a set of red body JK Rubicon shocks and front/rear are shorter than what I'm running now......
