I have a near bone stock 2000 XJ. I deffinately want to lift it, probably with the RE 4.5in. I really need help to spell this out for me. I am not sure of what all i need to get to make this new suspension work correctly. I need to know every additional option, such as the SYE that is probably needed. I Dont know the prices of these things or where to get them. I want to run 32/11.50s. If someone could please help me out I have been confused and anxious for awile now. I would really appreciate the help guys.

Thanks a lot,
Michael

Alright I'll give it a go.
Rubicon 4.5" lift $870.00 item:RE6130
Slip Yoke Eliminator Kit $80.00 item:1807
CV Driveshaft $250.00 item:RE1898
Shocks take your pick. From $150-$360
Doestch Tech 3000 series 32.95 each.
Extras would be JKS Sway Bar Discos $118.95
Rubicon make a lot of noise.
All this can be gotten at rubiconexpress.com
or dpgoffroad.com
or really anywhere.
Just my 5 cents. Juice

Juice forgot the adjustable track bar (unless that's part of the kit?). When I bought one from Rusty it was $130, IIRC -- may be a bit more by now from either Rusty or RE.

Upgrade to the Extreme Duty Trackbar and bracket,youll be money ahead in the long run(youll be buying one later anyway).See if you can some other disco's(theirs suck).Other than that I just took my RE 4.5 kit off after 2 years(and I miss it too).

If you go this route...call Dirk at DPG offroad...he'll match anyone's price or beat it guaranteed...This guy knows his XJ's, and is full of information.

As always Dirk gets my business when possible.As far as the gears go,since I just went to 33's from 32's I can see where 4.56's would be nice.Im lucky cause Im about stock on the street but Ive got the 4:1 for crawling!
