Yeah pretty big plans! I'm gonna go with 33's instead of the 31's but I was thinking about going for 5" lift and adding on to my 3.5" with front spacers and rear shackles. Not sure if it's the best idea though. Or should I just stay with the 3.5" and cut fenders for the 33's.

It's your call, is it a daily driver? If so I would keep it quasi-tucked and go with the 3.5" .. in my opinion, of course ;)

Quasi-tucked??? Unfamiliar with that phrase. Yeah it a DD, I really wanna find another I6 and build it just for a back up, then when I get done making it nice and shinny I can really see what the current I6 can handle. I don't know. I sure have fallen head over heels for my xj.

I like the look of big wheels tucked into the fenders of a moderate lift... not too much gap between the fender and the top of the tire.

Not a problem, if you have any questions or need any advise on XJ stuff feel free to ask me. ive had 4 of them ranging from stock 87 xj to lifted 94, lifted 95 and lifted 98 on 35s. I did all my own work except for gearing my axles and i still have a ton of info if needed.

The Bushwackers are a great add. I have them on mine. They are not as easy to install as the instruction sheet states, or at least if you have other aftermarket goodies like I do. Just take your time and you will be fine. I actually finished mine up with Herculiner to dress up all of the cuts and the metal under the flares to keep the rust in check. Of course, I compleatly coated my underside and my rockers, but that's another thread. :D
