i would not go BDS. Buddy of mine bought their 4 link kit for his TJ Rubicon. Within 6 months all the joints were shot and he had to replace them all because BDS said tough luck on the "warranty".
I'd trust Clayton's stuff any day of the week over BDS. It's top notch stuff.

I was originally thinking 4/5" lift but I sat in my bodys xj with 4" and was kinda easy to get into still ..ya I might go smaller I guess I need to decide of I want to trim fenders now to clear 33"s or later to clear 35"s

XJ suspension help.
Total noob to this forum so sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this but i have a 96 xj runs great and guy sold it to me cheap. Problem is this, the driver side sway bar link is hitting my coil and today i discovered that my driver side shock was at full extension but yet my passenger side sway link is clearing and my passenger shock has plenty of travel. As far as the lift goes they did it the cheap way and put like 2inch blocks in the rear and i have no idea up front. Im planning on installing an actual lift asap but as for now id like to just get an idea of what could be going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If it's not drivable you can just take it off so you can drive it until you figure it out.
Something is out of place.
