Ok ... just looking for a sanity check and opinions ... to start, my 01 XJ currently sits at less than 1/4" of sag ... so I'm starting off pretty good.
Let's also assume I don't have time to hunt parts at the P&P ... so
From Quadratec:
XJ HD Leafs - 56010.11
ZJ Coils - 52449.1067
XJ Coil Isolators - 56020.100
Now, the ZJ coils with the isolator net 2" right ? And the HD leafs net 1" correct ? So I coul take a non-main leaf of my current pack to get and extra inch ... correct ? Then a set of Bilstein 5100's to round it out.
The total I come to with everythnig (busings, Bilstein shocks, etc.) comes to $500 to my door. Is thing going to be better than the OME 2" for $800 to the door ? I am looking to firm the ride up a bit.
This lift will be temporary. Ultimately i am planning on a 4" TF with Bilsteins. The reason i plan on doing the temp lift is to clear the 30's i just put on and because i need to sink some scratch initially on new tierods, etc. (improper maint. by PO ) This also keeps some money in the kitty for the SYE. It will go on now so when the time comes for the 4", it is alrady done.
Or, with my pack not suffering much to start with, is a basic budget boost from RE at $275 to the door better. I have not had good experiences in the past with RE, but it seems like on the XJ they have a good rep.
