Hey guys,
I'm about to order my lift. I've read and researched most of everything and I've decided to get the RE 3.5 SR with the leafs, no AALs here.
I'm going to go with some AR Baja 15x8s with 3.75 BS because I want a really aggressive stance, not to mention the chrome should match the Limited's chrome nicely and tastefully. Unless you guys think I should say screw looks and go with some steel crager's or something to save the dough.
Finally, I think i'm gonna go with the classic 31/10.5/15 bfg tires. Should I go with the AT's or the mickey thompson atz's? I'll be street driving 95% of the time (just finished up freshman year in college, school is 4 hours away). I'll be able to safely do 70-80 mph at some points right?
Questions
1) What shocks should i get? Should I find a site that includes discounted Doetsch Tech DT3000s or splurge on the RE Monotubes? I am really set on doing this lift for as cheap as possible, but still using quality stuff, i don't mind a rougher ride (it IS an xj afterall)
2) Is 3.75 BS too much? I want the tires to stick out enough for an aggressive stance but not too much for a 3.5" lift.
3) Are Treadwrights just too good to be true? I want to go with them SOOO bad because of the price and only good reviews, but I get worried highway driving on retreads with friends or family in the car. An accident in a lifted xj is the last thing i want, but if you guys think I need not worry, I would love to save the 350 bucks.
Thanks alot fellas.
