Now I am thinking about a 4.5" lift. Was on rough country website and looked at picture of xj on site. Spoke to guy and he said it was his truck with a 4.5" with 31 x 10.5s. It looked sweet but not too crazy. With trans drop he said he had no driveline vibrations.

Im taking a trip to the junk yard tomorrow and am getting a few parts and maybe some upgrades I have a three inch lift and was wondering would it be helpful to get the zj pitman arm and front sway bar or am i ok with the stock one?

ZJ sway bar is the same thickness, but is not the same shape, and will not work.
