If you like the Xenons go for it, but after seeing them up close, I don't really like them. No offense to anyone with them, but the fronts look ok and the rears are just hideous IMO. Definitely try to catch some installed up close first

The stock fenders pop loose way to easy! I installed a 1 inch body lift and no more rubbing, which means no more popping off. Even though I plan on buying tube fenders from a non-sponsor eventually. Good luck

Wow, pretty strong consensus toward the body lift. Thanks for the input. I was always leary of them as my early memories of pickups with bodylifts remind me of the following:
Extremely short transfer case and transmisson shifters, do you see problems with a 1 to 2 inch BL in an auto?
Very obvious frame rails signifiying you were body lifted
I always heard they were a lot of work to install as you had to basically disconnect the chassis from the frame. Is it easier in a jeep? Am I wrong to assume a BB is easier to install than a BL?
The group pretty much has me sold on the Xenons, however. You never know, maybe that will be the answer on it's own.
Great site, great insight. Thanks all.
