So my jeep is lifted, RE 3.5, sits at 4".
Bad news, bad vibes. Hoping i can do a tcase drop for temporary relief.

As the lift settles, it should drop down a bit. What size tires are you running?

i wouldnt count on that kit settling at all past where its at. thats actually pretty low for an initial sitting.
tcase drop will surely help a lot for that year XJ

you have to do an alignment either way with the way our steering linkage works, it will help alot with how smooth it drives and tire wear

it shouldnt feel different because of 'geometry change' unless its pretty substantial my steering has never felt any 'stiffer'  |
