One More Question
OK one more question. Would my XJ look silly on stock wheels, and a 3 inch lift? What is the best size tire with stock rims, and a 3 inch lift for offroad capability. I realise I will get some opinions not nessessarily facts, but I dont mind.

heres my question, im looking at buying some size 33x12.50-15LT tires with some cragar soft 8 15"x8" rims. would it be better to buy 15x10 instead? ive heard you can run a lower psi with the 8 inch wide because it holds the bead better. I mostly do rock crawling so what would be better for my circumstance the 8 or 10?

just because the IRO coil is only 4" taller when both coils are unloaded, doesnt neccessarily mean those coils only net a 4" lift. think about it, i know that the IRO coils have a heavier weight rating than stock coils. when u put your GCs full load on those stock coils, they probally sink about 3" if not more, but with the IROs, they problly loose an inch, maybe an inch and a half... thats where the rest of your lift height is generated from
