a kit is gonna cost you 1200-1500
a SYE 100-300
a new rear driveshaft 250-350
lengthend front (if needed)
should top off your headlight fluid -30 each if you want the halogen
running 6.5 of lift your tire size would start to be consedered exessive on stock axles. depending on what you change to - a ton of money
then ya gotta buy rubber...
your gears will make it seem like you have a 1.8L honda engine under the hood if you dont regear with large rubber-- say 150 per gearset plus install. (you wont be able to do that yourself)
your steering will have bad angles but it will still be ok
installation if you dont know what your doing will damn near double your cost of everything :rof:
if you arnt a mall wheeler you will also need...
skids/rocker protection- depending on extent and brand 500
I have done it, and may do it again, and it never gets cheaper.basalt51 said:$4500.

When Lord?
When gonna be our time to learn (remember) that you gotta walk before you can crawl?
I know that my tone about this is becoming redundant, but the first thing a new XJ owner gets for his rig should not be a 5.5" lift and 35s.
I will now light myself on fire.
Hasta.
