I live in central washington and I am getting ready to purchase my first xj. I am wanting to build a rig that can run in the hills but also run down the road in a decent manner. Any of you guys running your rig as a dual purpose vehicle have any input for me as far as suspension and tires go? I was thinking of just buying a 4.5" rough country lift for now and running 33's with fender trimming just to get me going. Possibly some BFG's. The RE and RK lifts seem bithchin but I want to start with a basic lift and see if I enjoy the vehicle. Any input would be great. I plan on running in the Naches area quite often as I only live 30 minutes east of there. I know lockers, gears, shafts and so on need to be included too but I am mainly asking about driveability on and off road. Thanks for your time.
