Ideally a cheap junkyard lift would be easiest but I would rather save the money and buy the quality parts first time around. I read a little more and checked out some other sites. I really like the 4" short arm kit from iron rock for the price but really dig the deals and other products rusty's has. I still have some time to think and plan out, but I appreciate the ideas. Thanks guys!

Put some 31s on the XJ this weekend.
Before
After
I think I have 2 in of lift, was told with 2in I should be able to run 31s. Im having some rubbing, Front rubs at full lock no big deal, rear how ever is rubbing on the rear side of the wheel wells, I need to get a little lift in the rear on the cheap but want to keep it safe. The XJ is a daily driver. No hard wheeling.
Also speed seams to be off how do I fix that?

Ehh, didn't find much. idk how but someone should make a poll of different lift kit brands to see which ones most popular/reliable. I want to get a lift but don't want to buy a pos lift. And iv tried to find a legit site that sells OME 3in lift but I just can't find anything.

Skyjacker kits for Jeeps aren't that good; especially for XJs. Definitely not worth the price. And Rusty's has good springs, but he has a history of bad components and poor customer service. I won't buy from him after talking to him on the phone.
