what lift would you suggest

I too am looking to do something like the OP can yall help with more info on why the rustys kit is no good. Thanks

Rustys has a very thin track bar that fails at the TRE where it threads into the bar itself. The coil springs are stiff, the leaf springs sag, the joints in the arms wear out fast, etc. just do a search and read reviews not on sites trying to sell the kit to you. I have a 3.5" RE kit and and my buddy in high school had the 3" Rustys kit and his XJ rode like crap and nobody wanted to ride in his Jeep and they mostly rode with me. If it is going to be a dedicated trail rig then Rustys will do the job but if you plan to drive the Jeep on the street at all then invest your money in quality parts.
