Thanks for the advice guys. I am not doing the lift on the cheap,,,,I've been thinking about Rubicon Express 3.5 Superflex Lift Kit with Rear Springs For 84-01 Jeep Cherokee XJ but I'm in the early "think" stage. Thanks for the build it input but I'm OLD and long past the wrecking yard stage of life at 65. I think it is great to do that and did for many years. Not sure which prevails at this stage of my life, tired or lazy on my part, probably both!
Lol...I hear ya. Then you're on the right track with the RE 3.5" Superflex kit. Some people :rattle: at the price compared to other 3" lifts but it's top notch. Just make sure you get the full spring pack kit and NOT the add-a-leaf (AAL). AALs are the suck, don't ride as nice, and sag easily. Not to mention, if you have worn out springs existing, you may not end up at a full 3.5" lift in the back.

I think I'm hearing that on my '95 a 3.5 lift is a safe lift w/o SYE.
Also 30 or 31 tires seem to be fine for my purpose.
'Running 30x9.50s on my '00, stock suspension(not up country), sway bars connected. Tires don't rub at full flex, full lock. It's settled an inch or so from factory height, maybe a little more in the back. I might "lift" it to up-country height, or an inch taller if I get to the point where it drags too much and starts bothering me.I have 30 x 9.50 tires with stock rims on my stock XJ which I keep getting told can't be. Does that make sense? Every lift company says our 3 inch lift will let you run 30's. What are they talking about? I have lots of clearance with my 30's on there, no rub even on really rough rocky trails.
you won't know till you try
run the biggest tire you can clear under your fenders. you'll thank me later. however big you think you're going to make your jeep, add $1500 to $2k (at least) more in parts, and that's really where you're going to end up.

no worries. a lot of the stuff in here is repetitive, which is why i stopped reading and posting in modtech. but then i realized i had the questions when i was learning and someone was there to beat the dead horse for me (that sounds wrong) so here i am, i guess.
