Realistically, it's just the system Jeep uses to designate their vehicles.

even though the price tag is tempting aal's are not the answer.
the kit doesn't offer longer brake lines, front sway bar discos, or track bar options.
the need for a sye kit is jeep by jeep but good rule of thumb is 3 inch and up will need it eventually, and a t-case drop kit is only a band-aid that robs ground clearance.
research everything...
good luck

Thanks! My rear springs don't look saggy at all. The back sits a little higher than the front. So add a leaf might not be that bad temporarily. I want the leaf pack but im on a budget. Eventually Ill add the sway bar disconnects too. Had it on my old TJ and it was awesome. So would this kit be a better option since it has track bars? Or does it make a difference since the bars in this kit dont adjust? http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep_xj_3x.html

If your rear leaf springs are sagging any, you may want to save up and get full leaf packs. I went add a leaf and I am very happy with it. Adjustable track bar or track bar relocation bracket, a t case drop will probably be fine, it may not even need a tcase drop or a sye, every jeep is different

Do I need adjustable track bars, or the SYE kit, or the transfer case drop bracket? I keep getting diff answers from people I know so maybe someone on here has a solid answer for me or is running the same kit. Thanks.

I didnt need an sye, tc drop, adustable trac bar, ext brake lines (didnt even rebend), and i wheel the dog snot out my rig. Just goes to show how different the tolerences can be. Start simple and work out the bugs as u go.
Here are some pics of mine:
