LAcherokee said:Well, from what I've gathered.. the key is (for me at least) long leafs in the rear, and I'll get my own shocks Bilstein most likely.
ah yes but what if these younger springs are not sagging and have only 78k miles on it?Brian_NJ said:Over the years it has amazed me how many people put AALs on old worn out springs and expect them to hit the advertised lift numbers. If people are going through all the trouble to lift a vehicle why cheap out and not get new srings. The youngest of these trucks is over 7 years old at this point.

LAcherokee said:Well, my xj has 190K miles.. as it is, it does sag a bit in the rear maybe an inch. I told Jason over at RC about this, and asked him if it would pose a problem. He said NO. He recommended the long leafs but said it would not be a problem.
What do you guys think, I mean I would think Jason knows what he is talking about... but then the last thing I want to is only get an inch and a half out of a 3 inch kit
