392 XR takeoffs for JLU Willys

I've been driving my Willys for a while, taking it to some mountains and figuring out where i want to start the mods and I'm thinking about suspension first. I don't want to necessarily be a rock crawler, but i want it to be capable (yes,... it already is...) and comfortable so i'm looking at 2.5in more ideal height. I have found a few options on marketplace that don't look sketchy but would love some advice from the more knowledgeable humans here!

Here's what i've found:
-392 XR takeoff suspension (500 miles on it but no shocks, I'm fine buying some).
-392 take off with everything (300 miles on it).
-normal Rubicon suspension off a 2021 (I have questions out about the miles).

None of them say 2 or 4 door, so questions are also out about that. Any recommendations? I've also been looking at aftermarket ones, so if you think it would be better to go with that, please shout it haha. Here's my jeep tax!

How much they want for that stuff? Is there any actual lift with those parts?
From what i've looked at online they'll give it maybe 2in maybe more since it's stock so far with a soft top and ~$400 obo for the ones with shocks, make an offer for the one that has everything else.

These are some of the aftermarket lifts i've been looking at as well as the Icon, dynatrac, and AEV options.

The problem with Jeeps is you want 33s, then 35s, then 37s. It just keeps going. Honestly, you can do a lot with 35s. so if your suspension is high enough to clear that, then stick with that.
hahaha yes i've heard this. I will only max want 35's, and probably not even that. I won't be swapping tires until i wear mine out, at least. My friend with a JT wants 37s. I'll just watch him spend$$ :LOL: . I am definitely not confident in mine clearing 35s right now.

My understanding is that the 392, 392 XR and other models which provide more lift from the factory provide that lift by changing the location of the spring perch and the bump stops rather than obtaining the extra lift via the springs. Take care that the springs will provide the lift and spring rates you want!

A 392 XR take off suspension will get you ~1.5" of lift over your current Willys factory suspension. IMHO unless the parts are very cheap and you only want to run 35s I would get something different. I posted mine on FB for 2 years and finally sold all the shocks, arms, and more for $100.
