Harbor Freight sells one on the super cheap.. little hydro unit that does the job. I threw 40.00 on it in the TX panhandle.
Oh and just a warning start soaking your bolts now (PB Blaster).... trust me, This will save you from a stroke if you do lol..
I destroyed two craftsman breakers on my driver side and once it broke loose the damn thing fought me every twist of the thread until it was out. I literally almost took my cutter to the whole effin thing at one point but I won the fight and on the other side a good soaking and they didnt fight back nearly at all.

Four Wheeler said it best: "3 inches and 31's are the magic number for modding XJ's that will be daily driven... retain a good ride and gas mileage while drastically improving wheeling prowess."

when i had AAL on my old xj, the ride was so terrible and the rear flex is worse. just cant see steel that thick able to flex.
longer shackles are better. ride is not changed, and flex better.
but as said before, nothing is really better for the rear than the relocation brackets. mad suspension travel.
