aal will lift it up higher than the front. So you would need to get new front springs or some spacers to level it out. This was mine with a add a leaf and 3" front springs.

So I should do the aal and get front springs? Sounds easy enough but are front springs hard to do that's the big question

Before doing anything with the suspension if it was me I would do a full tune up change all the fluids and change the upstream and down stream o2 sensors... This way you know what has been done and you will not have problems later plus it will maximize your mpg for your set up... Preventative care on a 2000xj is important because of the head problems... Have a great day congrats on the new jeep

Well the rockers are first then comes the fluids followed by the suspension. I live in a bumpy area so I'm afraid of killing the rear shocks and riding on leaf springs.

Yup if you do not stop the rust there is no point to fixing anything else in my opinion

Id say suspension is the least of your worries. That cancer is going to take over if you dont do something about it..

The only real trouble spots. Quick question I turned sharply and heard a grinding sound what could that be. Also have a weird vibration at 25-35mph.

Possibly. It has 16 inch rims with bigger tires but no lift maybe it was a tire rubbing?
