For the price and what I plan on doing, the 3" rusty's lift would be awesome. are the stabilizers and lower axle mounts recomended? if so should I go ahead and order them with the lift or can I get them cheaper somewhere else? I dont plan on real extreme offroading right now, but you never know! haha

Here's a helpful little chart I found on here a while back.
Here's the link to explain it all.

Pretty much. It explains it all pretty detailed in the last paragraph before the chart.
I'm going 33s soon myself as soon as a save up the money. And ill probably be going 4.56 as well. Im going with those cause if I ever decide to go bigger then it won't affect it too much.

im doing this same thing as this guy putting a 4.5 RC with a 2" budget on top, i got adjustable control arms tho. i got them all on but everything is shifting towards the passenger side. the coils are forcing the whole axle that way, so i was wondering do i just need to move it back into place and then install an adjustable track bar on the front to fix this?

Death Wobble
Yeah, I have a 95 cherokee and did the 3 1/2" rough country with the new tublar control arms, add a leaf and took it to my buddy and had him put 31x10.5 tires on it and do an alignment. He told me he was able to dile in the toe and camber but the caster was at +10 when it should be between 2 and 8. But the adjustment nuts were all the way in. And the axle could not slide back any futher. Now correct me, but I thought that putting a lift on would slide the axle back and you would have to adjust the axle forward to get what you need. He gave it back to me and it has a good wobble when I hit bumps at speed on the highway.

Engine: 4.0l, K&N Cold Air Intake, Banks Headers
How high should it sit?
Ok, here we go:
'94 XJ, 4.0l, Sport
6" Rough Country installed in '05
Rusty's heavy duty track bar
32"x 15"x 10.5" BFG AT's
ARB Bull Bar, Surco Rack custom mounted
K&N Intake, Banks Headers, Accelerator muffler
Husky Liners, fiberglass flooring, vinyl headliner
My question is: How high sould my XJ sit? It dosent look like it's sitting as high as some other XJ's with the same lift. Can someone at least tell me what a stock height should be? My tires are a little worn down (need to replace) but the spring height seems like it should be taller. I want to get 33"s and not sure if my lift will clear them with out cutting (dont want to cut just yet)
Any ideas?
Thank you for any help.
