If you go higher, you should go wider.

I like the 6.5 But higher you go more expensive. I have yet to test is out. maybe today it rained all weekend and the mud washed off my xj.

Well, we all have got our own opinions. some of us have the same ones, and then there are those who are different.... If I was to go any higher than 6.5 inches I would definitely be going wider as well..... but until I magically have about 15 grand that I dont need for ANYTHING else, well then I will be making a few little adjustment on the XJ

I just orderd a 6.5" LA after reading things on the forums about height and cog. I had originally wanted a 8" Rusty's kit but went with RC.
