so what are you running now? are you wanting 8inchs total taller than stalk or the 12inchs you would get by running a 8inch lift and tires to go with it?

8" with 35s? KTM, how about an example of 35s without lift? IMO, if you're lifted 8" you should be on full width axles running something like 40" tires. I don't understand the need to go that high, especially if you keep the factory track width.

New guys talk about how much lift they have, experienced guys talk about how little lift they can get away with. Thats how its always going to be. They will just have to learn for themselves. Most of the tall lift guys arent in it for the capability and building lifted xjs are just a phase for them anyway.
Just something I have noticed.

well back to the topic i am at 7 inches in the back with a 90 degree shackle angle and a saggy 6.5 inch short arms in the front and RE shocks in the back and Rustys in the front. my ride quality is great compared to a my one buddy that we put up to 6.5 with full packs and short arms. it all about what you pair with what. i love my RE shocks and my front is getting a pair with some IRO 6.5 coils and i already have 2.25'' spacers in the front too keeping those bc of the bumper i have.
and it all really depends what terrain you are on with 8 inchs of lift what tires you gonna run bc i don't think and 8 inch lift is to have anything lower then 35's just my opinion. i kinda want 35's for mine but i just bought 33's
