well I was going to go with the OME lift from DPG Offroad but funds are not going to allow for that right now. However I do have a set of MT Sidebiters with 31x10.5 tires sitting in the garage. Soooo I am wondering what is the cheapest way to lift the XJ to get the 31's on there until I can afford the OME lift and not cut anything?

if money is an issue, most of us do budget builds. there's an entire thread for that.
id say comfortably go with 3" lift for good 31" tire clearance.

yes it will but there will be no room for flex and the tires will rub the fenders when you turn if you dont trim them.

EDIT: At 3" your axle will be pulled to the drivers side with the stock track bar, so you won't be able to get an alignment. And you can use stock jk shocks as well.

Stock JK Wrangler shocks work for a 3" lift on an XJ. It'll ride rough, but you can get 'em cheap or free from someone who's lifting their JK.

Any Opinions on this kit? Is there anything else I might need? Do I need control arms if I am not wheeling?

Rough country is just that. With a jeep you can't have cheap without sacrificing ride quality. But to answer your question, yes that's everything you need. You will need drop brackets for the swaybar or longer links/discos
