Canyons are 5.25 ravines are about the same, mixed results with google.. I got 5 to 5.5. Either way they won't work on 33, or really even 31 without spacers, otherwise you will be rubbing on turns.

I'm at 4 inches lift with cragar v5's, 15x8 3.75 bs. I run 31s and don't rub at all, I do have aftermarket lower arms, sometimes that makes a difference.

I personally do not recommend the AAL kits from any company because they tend to ride rough and sag over time. Full leaf packs are definitely worth the extra money.
$450 is definitely a very high price though...you can order the same kit off their website for under $275. And the little bit better one with the nitro socks and control arms for $350. You can add full leafs to any of their kits for additional cash.

http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep_xj_3x.html <--- I recommend this one with full leafs
AAAAAND if you call Jeff at RC directly (1-800-222-7023 x125) and tell him you're from JeepForum (he's a Vendor) you'll get 10% off what you buy

Longer shackels VS relocation mount.
Zone is now offering a 4.5in kit with full rear leafs. The leafs are only 3in lift and then they use longer shackles to add 1.5in. Thats about the same amount of lift you get with the shackle relocation bracket. The question is would they flex the same?

RC is a great company with a great product for a good price. I've never heard anything bad about them.
