3" would be the max lift I would want. Also don;t want to go larger than 30's on tires. This is a DD so gas mileage is important to me.

That's what I said:

3" and 30's

New wheels, flareless up front, a few new dings in the bumper:

Trimmed Fenders:

Glass fenders:

Trimmed rear 1/4's

Bumpers!

And finally, where I'm at now... around 6.5" and 33's... Full go fast suspension...

3" and 30's my ass :laugh: Mind you, this has all been since I bought my Jeep in January... Yup... money pit.

To each his own, but I like my 4.5" and 32s...

I would have gone with 5.5" or 6.5" but I found that I would have to do the SYE. 33's are in the distant future.

It floods a lot in the Houston area. I wanted good clearance between the ground and the bottom of the Jeep. I'm pretty happy with 24" now.

If you want a DD with good gas mileage, get a Honda and drive the Jeep when it's bad outside, or if you just want to look BAD for a change.

Well, I've got the 4.5 w/ aal... well at the time I was trying to do it as inexpensive as possible...so the aal's sagged...oh well... I found out after the fact... I bought some rear springs...anyway the new spring packs make a lot of difference in the ride... of course I could lower the tire pressure and make it better... I run 32's on the road and 31's on the trail... I need to trim the end of my front bumper..

Overall I'm extremely happy with the lift. I did get the RC Track bar.

Future mods...probably adjustable coil spacers...RC lca drop brackets... adjustable U & L ca's... a new rear bumper (c-rok or detour), sye and drive shaft.

I need to replace my AAL, (before they sag) what changed in the ride?

 

[lilredxj99]

The new rear springs are not as bone jarring as the aal.

Dude, that XJ is sick! Love the red wheels. How do you like those RC Sliders? I really like the design and price.

 

[macs97XJ]

Thanks, the red wheels was different. The RC Sliders only has one draw back, which I will fix. They only mount to the frame. I will be adding a pinch seam mount to them to firm them up a little more.

Man that is a bright rig. I feel like my eyes are burning

 

[XJ runner]

I have the 3" AAL on my '99. I have been happy with it, no problems so far.

i pity the fool

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

:roflmao:the A-Team..that brings back some memories. Now if they only still made the "Mr. T" cereal, that was some good shiz back when I was a kid (or so I thought).

Sorry for my tangent, now back on topic.....

3yrs and my 4.5" w/fullpacks has treated me well i just recently noticed my DR shock is leaking but that was after some serious abuse so i cant really blame the shock and yea after a year or so i noticed my DF upper shock bushing was pulling through but i fixed that with a metal spacer:laugh: so far my packs havent sagged at all or at least not noticable and most of the time im still bigger than other companies 4.5" kits id deffinatly buy them RC again great product for the price
