Rough country 3” lift

[JacobVS]

I have been looking to gain some extra hight ( around 3”) for some time and the rough country seems like the best cheaper option. 
 

The rough country lifts never say they fit on a Mj on xj’s is this true or would they fit both?

 

I'm specifically looking at the one with new control arms new leaf packs and the rest.

XJ's and MJ's don't have the same rear leafs. MJ's are about 6 inches longer and have a lot more free arch as they are spring under axle and XJ's are spring over axle.

If you're trying to do it yourself, your local classifieds and junkyards will be the way to go. My truck has had a 3" lift for 5 years I think and it is all used parts and a bastard pack in the rear. Here's a thread of junkyard parts you could use to make your lift:

Oh okay thank you,

 

now I have seen a few people replacing brake lines and lower control arms, is that somthing I should do?

 

I'm New to this I thought this page was the best way of getting into it.

Depends, what are you plans with your lifted MJ? Street driving only or fourwheeling, or both? You can get away with relocating the front brake lines on a 3" lift and running stock control arms. Are you trying to do this lift as cheap as possible or do you want it to still drive like a stock vehicle is the question.

It’s mostly a daily driver but want to do some more light off-roading, m getting 265/75 ok 15” rims and don’t want to deal with any rubbing

 

Also curious what offstes on rims I should be looking for. I haven’t found much telling me what I should look for
