Cons: the only con is that I wish I would have gone with a 4'' lift!
Recommended? Yes

Price: $255.90
Pros: Great price for the amount of lift. Very soft suspension.
Cons: Installation sheet would be difficult to use if you are new to wrenching.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: The Rough Country 3" lift kit was extremely affordable for the amount of lift I was looking for. When I ordered on-line I was contacted by the Rough Country staff to ensure my order was correct. There was a miss-hap on the shipping which was not their fault, so for the inconvenience they re-reimbursed my shipping cost. Excellent customer service.
The product was simple to install, and came with all hardware and instructions. The suspension is extremely soft and so far appears to be durable.

Price: $576.30
Pros: -Easy to install -Simple, effective
Cons: -Installation instructions nonexistent
Recommended? Yes

Comments: The kit came with everything needed to boost your XJ Cherokee 3". I opted to add the performance stabilizer, rear leaf packs (instead of the add-a-leafs), and upgraded to the Nitro 9000 shocks. I highly recommend getting a new stabilizer, since yours will likely be shot, and I also HIGHLY recommend the rear leaf packs instead of the add-a-leafs. It's worth the extra money to not have to mess with the leaf packs.

The instructions for the kit were virtually nonexistent. The only instructions included were for installing the steering stabilizer, and not the kit itself. Luckily the kit is pretty straightforward and easy to install, but it would have been nice to have had some reference material included. The wrong axle u-bolts were sent (Dana 35 instead of the Chrysler 8.25").

Highly recommended for beginners and those looking for a cost-effective lift kit and moderate boost.

Price: $650.00
Pros: Easy to install, full packs are the bomb
Cons: Fixed LCAs are too long, gave me 10 degrees positive caster
Recommended? Yes

Comments: This kit went in well for the most part. As far as the LCAs go, they are too long for this size lift and gave me 10 degrees positive caster. Also did not come with new hardware, except U-bolts.

Price: $255.00
Pros: Great clearance on the average trail. great in rutted trails and on hill climbs.
Cons: Not best for crawling.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: If your looking on just throwing a little lift on your truck for a good Saturday ride on the trail and to set the look of you Jeep off or if you like me and kinda have a tight budget, this is an excellent product. i would recommend it to anyone of those desires. But if you the one thats looking for doing more of the extreme trail riding the I would recommend going 4.5 inches or bigger, and definitely look in to a long arm suspension.
