Shocks/Lift/Info
Well, since I go ZERO info. from anyone in the "All lift and tire questions go here" Thread, I will post right here!
Few questions..
Need shocks for lift, and a cheap solution would be some Rusty's shocks. Are they okay for the 33$/ea? Can also get a pair of RE twintubes for about 90$ shipped. Or if I can afford it was thinking about going with some Bilstein 5100's About 160$ shipped for a pair.
Anyone that is using the ironman4x4fab bolt-in track bar (the one that uses a factory tie-rod end that is adjustable installed).. How is it? It seems to me that for the price and is a direct bolt in that it is worth it.
Considering using 2nd set of Xj leafs for a bastard pack/lift shackle.. but If I were to go with the OME 2" lift leafs, do you recommend the medium or heavy duty leafs?
The lift coils I have now are about 3.5" (PO says they sagged a bit, so I'm guessing more around 3"-3.25).
Any other suggestions are appreciated as well.

For the rear leafs, I was going to add the spare main leaf to my pack an an extended shackle. Since the arch is similar it gives a little bit of a boost in height. I already have some lift springs for the front, why would I want to WASTE money on a full kit, if I already have half of it?
