Apologies since this has been probably asked before. 98 XJ Upcountry looking to get it lifted, was going to do 2", now thinking biting the bullet and going to 3"
I do a lot of freeway driving and this is more of an overlander vehicle so that is why I am not going crazy with the lift. 31" is the max tire size I would go because I don't want to have to regear.
Always liked the RE 3.5" kit but also looking at the BDS suspension 3" Kit (http://bds-suspension.com/product?ma=7&mo=29&ty=38&yr=1987-2001). The BDS kit has a lot of customizable options that the RE Kit doesn't have like:
- Steering Stablizer
- Fixed or Adjustable UCA
- Adjustable LCA (RE Kit Comes with Fixed LCAs)
- Adjustable Track Bar
- Front Brake Lines
Do I really need any of these? I'm willing to spend the money if it's the right thing to do, but I don't want to waste money. I kinda like the idea of upgrading the stock Steering Stabilizer, but the others I don't really have a good idea if they should be done for 3" lift.
The BDS is a better deal so I'd probably go with them, but unfortunately they only have AAL which I know doesn't always do the job of new leaf packs. Could buy a new set of stock leaf packs and just AAL to there?
Also, am I going to need a SYE for 3"?
