Hey guys, i have a 1999 cherokee sport. i need rear leaf springs on my jeep, but im also looking into getting a 3 inch lift for it. so my question is, what would be my cheapest route? get a rear leaf springs then the lift, get a lift with a rear add-a-leaf, or something else? thanks for any input

 

If it were me, since you need new springs, no need in just putting an add-a-leaf in. I would get a set of leaf springs which provide you with 3" of lift. Some company's will have this as an option when ordering your lift kit.

 

Get a 3in rough country lift. Call them and Ask for Jason he will hook you up.

Now press the Easy button.

 

ya rough country is definitly the way to go..ive been searching around for a loooong time and they have a great price and good quality

 

look at my pics. before and after, if you like it, i'll tell you how i took the lowest price route.

 

ok, i have the same year, and sure enough, i think they used super junky leafs for that year.
here are the links:

also separately bought rc steering stabilizer, shackles, tc drop brackets and track bar.

 

oh and u-bolts. i got the 7.5", but they are about an inch too long, but i like em that way.

 

all with 10% military discount.

 

thanks Tural did you put the lift in yourself?

 

yeah, me and a buddy. but we did it in buddy's shop. at least the springs,leafs and shocks. but here's the deal. the springs ended up being 5" of lift. i put a spacer in the front, but most people just take one of the leafs off. i think the spacer is well worth it.

 

k gotcha..by the way, hows the flowmaster sound? if you cant tell, im new to xj's.

 

one more thing. i don't know if anyone told you this, but you'll loose gas mileage with the lift alone, even if you don't put bigger tires on. but i solved that, and even better... i'm getting better gas mileage with the lift, than i did before. if you wish to know, i'll walk you through it.

 

my flowmaster is new, so it's dead quiet, even with a "high flow cat"(if you know what i mean). but it gets deeper. i have an 04 Dakota and it got deeper in a year. i don't drive much though.

 

btw, how do you have a v6???
