wow! thanks did know they had such thing! That is why I like asking =) However, I am not planning to get it now. I am probably going to wait till my i6 dies or needs a rebuild (people are telling you might as well wait a few hundered years) are they really that reliable? lol

Anyhow, I am really glad I took your guys advice and waited to buy the lift. I decided to go with a 4.5 inch - 5 inch instead of a 7 or 8 inch. Ive been told a higher lifted jeep is more dangerous in ice when clipping on highway. I might be using this jeep in winter in the highways in colorado.

Anyhow, they say the 5 inch is best for offroading and seasonal use for commuting during winter and summer.

Wondering for opinions?

 

i would stick with 4.5 -5 in lift. good all round. as far as the engine, yea as long as you take care of it, have fun waiting then. it will last forever.

 

I have this engine. It's expensive, but worth every penny.

 

Yes, yes they are.

My '92 is pushing 300k miles and shows no sign of slowing down. Compression, oil pressure, all well within spec. She'll sit in traffic all day with the AC blasting, climb anything, pull tree stumps, and roast the tires on command.

If you pay attention day to day, you'll notice you still see these XJs running around EVERYWHERE. There's a reason why, these Jeeps and the BMW E36 equipped rides are some of the longest lasting vehicles you'll ever find.

 

This fixed my problem! Thank you!!!!
