I apologize in advance I'm sure your sick and tired of hearing/reading these posts....
So finally have some funds to pull the trigger on a lift. My XJ is solid no major issues. Shes my daily driver and will stay that way. I have picked "Rusty's XJ Cherokee 3" Spring Pack Lift Kit" is there anything else I would need Tcase drop I heard that was a NO NO or should I be Fine with just this lift? any vibrations or is it hard to for-tell?
What's the difference between the shocks monotube & performance shocks?

Having ran that kit for a long time I can tell you that you might not need the drop kit some do some don't mine did. That is a quality made in NA kit few are anymore and it does have all new hardware. When you do order it start that day soaking all the nuts/bolts with PB Blaster so they will come of a bit easier.
One thing I would suggest is an Adj. Track Bar (I use his dbl. shear one on mine) and to check all your steering before doing the lift to make sure its in good condition. If Tie rods are needed buy ones for a mid 90's ZJ V-8 much stronger and larger but still a direct bolt-in. Under a $100 at AutoZone for the 3 pcs. for the "Moog" their top of the line branded ones.

Im looking forward to seeing pictures man, Tell us how it goes, have you ever done this kind of work before? Take it slow and do it right. its a heck of a learning experience i have found out this year haha. be prepared to spend extra cash on things you might need to upgrade after the lift and if your going larger tires look at gearing.
