Hi all
I'm thinking of buying a rough country 3" lift kit for my XJ from Llama 4x4
It's the series 2 kit listed here: http://www.llama4x4.com/page15.

My question is do I need to have anything else done to the jeep other than fit this kit?
I've heard the panhard rod pushes the axle to the drivers side if the lift kit is fitted so I'm worried my jeep will be un-drivable unless I spend more cash buying an adjustable panhard rod.
Any tips etc on what's best to do?
Cheers.

front track bar can be adjusted by drilling an additional hole in the bracket which is adequate. brake lines are ok but drop the front mount by the caliper to stop brake line binding, rear line should be supplied.

if your rear springs are shot then replace before adding the add a leafs

have you looked at other brands for comparison on price

To be honest I just saw this kit and having heard a lot about them thought I would go with them.
What other kits are available?

As you will see the prices do vary considerably.

Thanks for the links.
Didn't realise there were so many lift kits for the humble XJ.
Think I will stick with the RC kit as the seller is UK based.
Thanks for the replies.
