99% of Xj lifts right here.. read before you ask a lift question.. please!

Alright since i am tired of answering the same questions over and over and im sure others are as well, I will make a list of all the kits out there that i know of. Just so you know, i was in the middle of this when i acidently hit the back bottom and almost destoyed my pc lol. Some of the prices may be a litle off as im sure you can get them cheaper if you search. This is just so you can look and think about it before you ask the same question as the man before you Enjoy... my hands hurt lol price is high to low.. also i used a 1999 xj in my search.. some might not be avaliable/different price for different years

I think it would be good if you removed the prices since they will change!

I don't think having the price included is such a bad thing. Yep, prices are going to change but it gives the reader a chance to browse a lift that will more than likely be in their price range.

Comprehensive and to the point. Great list Ian!

thanks!

I was just about to ask "What lift is best for me?". Then I decided to spend a few days on the search feature.:read: Nice list and really what I wanted to find, even if I only found it by refreshing and finding it at the top of the page.:yelclap:

damn. that's alot of info. good for you man. i'm sure this will help alot of people out. though i do enjoy reading the responses to the type of threads this may help to reduce...

either way, kudos for doing the leg work

Nice list! this should be a sticky in the FAQ section!

Nice list. Forgot to add the short to long arm conversion kits

Holy crap! Get bored much? That's a rather nice list you have there...

sigh I wish Rubicon Express was still in business

well i would add them but i cant edit it..

Just make a Part 2 post here and contact a moderator to combine both posts.


That is a really good original post. Good job.

great list, i got RE but rustys is nice :]

Crap. Everytime I refer to this list I'll be reminded that I only have a teen lift that is no longer supported.

Poly Performance, aka Synergy Suspension has full lift kits now for XJ's.
