Got a Wrangler? Maybe a friend with one? http://www.WranglerTalk.com/

Cool. Are you going to trim the fenders so you can run larger tires than you have now?

:welcome: to xjtalk from Delaware/Maryland!! If I were you I'd pick up the coil spacers and a set of adj. shackles from RC.. You can pick up that extra height you are looking for pretty cheap that way.. That is what I did on top of my 4.5" lift I had, and am very happy with the results, and the price..

3" is kind of the breaking point for money. After that, you are outside the normal range the linked front is designed for. Then you need to relocate the track bar hole, or a new track bar and longer lower links to maintain the castor angle you need to avoid bump steer. Longer shocks will probably also be needed to avoid pulling the pistons off the rod.

From what I have read the WJ rear lover control arms are approx 2" longer than the front XJ front lower control arms and may require grinding to fit.
