I feel ya, not judging, just some friendly advice from someone who's done it.

I lucked out, I only spent like $55 on my lift total. Made a huge difference on and off road for how big the tires are.

No problems Just don't want one opinion to be taken as fact.

I have 3.5" re lift on 33's and it does great ! I am much more stable on side hills compared to my coworkers Xj with 8.5" of lift on 33's. He try's saying he had more ground clearance then me but I keep telling him its the same cause our diffs are the same height off the ground .

First of all let me say..........the R/C XJ is AWESOME!! I have a Traxxas EMaxx I'd love to find an XJ body for.

Secondly..........I've been hoping for some snow to go wheeling in (this being the first winter since I bought my XJ and all) this year but, it's not looking too promising. The average temp all week has been 45 for the low and 70 for the high.
