Re: If you were to lift your XJ 3

Coil springs, full leafs, disconnects, cross member, no shims, relocate the track bar and more. That is of course if I wanted to spend all the extra money.

It really depends on what you want to do with your Jeep. If it's your daily driver and you do some occassional, moderate off-roading, get a good quality kit with shocks, coil springs and an add-a-leaf and run with it. I have a similar set-up on my '88 right now and it works fine with 31"ers, for now. Next year I will probably be putting on a bigger lift and more stuff. If you want to save money and just get it up, go with the minimal, spacers and shackles but don't expect a whole lot out of it (you get what pay for kinda thing).

Also, remember that add-a-leafs will likely sag fairly soon after installation depending on the age/condition of your springs. You can always add a 1.5" or so shackle to level it out. Don't forget, check your rear brake line, it gets stretched out pretty good with a lift, don't want that thing breaking on ya...
