3.5" IRO:

and get some different shocks

Or if you want a good ride, go 4.5" with long arms. I don't know much about LAs, but I'm sure someone will chime in.

IRO 4.5 Long Arms works great and rides awesome but I have the 6.5 now and its even better

I believe he has a ZJ..IRO doesnt make a long arm kit for our ZJ's yet..

4.5 RE superflex is better Andy.

I guess size really matters

Prepackaged lifts generally have various compromises for marketing/pricing reasons.

Go with a "hybrid" approach where you pick and choose the best available components from several manufacturers. This method will get you the best lift for your money, and the results will yield the best on and offroad performance.

Feel free to PM me if you'd like to chat -

The rough country 4" kit seems to be a great ride, i have a buddy with one on his zj and he loves it.

He's never ridden in other Grands has he?

i agree, but he said "3in to 4"... a 4.5 would be outside of that range, so i recomended the 3.5.
