Hey guys I'm gonna need new tires on my 00' xj classic soon and being a broke college student don't have the money to do lift and tires.. So what I'm wanting to do is go 2" BB to fit some 31s. Before I get to my RE 3.5
I was thinking this one http://www.rustysoffroad.com/rustys-...dd-a-leaf.html
Opinions if this kit is **** are appreciated! I'm guessing I'm gonna want some longer ubolts? But is there anything else I would need with this? Maybe a tiny tcase drop?
She is gonna see some offroad time before the lift gets on so is there anything I should worry about, rubbing? Maybe doing brake lines before the lift?
Thanks!

That's what I would like to do, but I am gonna need tires before I can even scrounge the money for the lift together. It's kinda a lesser of two evils thing at the moment

My add a leaf was about a 3in lift though, supposed to be two. So I ended up replacing the rear shocks with blazer offroad zr2 shocks, works great and very long travel.
You may need to lengthen your bump stops to keep from rubbing if you disco like I did. Otherwise you should be fine.
I would always suggest a BB first. You will get a better idea of what you want before you spend the big dough.
Good luck

Looking into getting an inexpensive 4.5" lift. My Cherokee came with a rustys 3" and it seems to be working out great so I'm thinking about using them again. Everything I've read has been people love or hate them. If you hate them what do you hate and/or what would you recommend instead. Any info would be much appreciated.

?? It's 100$ BB.. versus RE Superride with shocks, sye and drive shaft. That's a bit of a difference in price.
94Xj- Do you have any good threads on trimming fenders? I would have no clue what I was doing crossing that bridge to be honest

You can do the same thing with an angle grinder but you get the idea
