Not a bad lift. You can fit some bigger tires with it an some trimming. How big of tires do you want to run?

And it's always a good idea to get some new shocks when lifting. Chances are your old ones are worn and old

I have that same lift bro, it's a good idea to replace the shocks just like he said up there I only have 2 new shocks on my XJ cause that's what I got for Christmas was only 2 and I really notice the difference, and this lift is easy as hell to put on just spray those Leaf spring bolts with some PB blaster, Kroil or whatever, or WD 40 mine came right out with spraying WD 40 I was impressed.

How big are your tires? You could always trim and bumpstop and be done with it
