Good deal definitely keep us posted..yeah a 2"-3" lift would also be no vibe issues for ya...BB would be cheap lift and you can use the stock shocks as well I'd think.. I could have.. Dynomax exhaust get it at summitracing.com best prices out there..

After the exhaust a CAI would be my next improvement to the Jeep. It may help with fuel economy as well as a little more power.
Very nice Jeep, I think you will be happy with it.

A 2" budget boost with a spacer and shackle should be around $100...You should be able to use your factory shocks as well.. The budget boost I have is from Rocky Road I had no issues with the parts but their phone people are idiots.. I am removing it soon and putting an RE 3.5 kit, new track bar and new shocks..

When I did my budget boost say in march or so before the motor blew I also bought new shocks only because the factory 17 yr old shocks were leaking and shot..

Never bought one. Always made my own but I'm cheap. Used Ford F150 coils and rear leaf packs from an S10 or Dakota. Homemade BPEs and that was all I had on the other two XJs. This XJ is the only store bought kit I have ever had. RE 3.5 SF kit.
