from what i hear great lift, get it from Wooders on www.wooders.com.au

Probably the best kit for XJ's,
I ran RE on my old TJ and it was great.

i'd seriously look at drop brackets though.

this should run 32's fine and with minor triming 33's

35's with heavy trimming.

I run the 4.5" coils and adjustable superflex control arms with a bit of a mix of leafs in the rear, I'm very happy with the Rubicon stuff if that helps. Currently I also have shackles and a spacer and am around 5", even without the drop brackets or long arms it is still a nice ride, it isn't my daily diver though. Tyres are 32's.
