Like I said, stop by a spring shop if you know of one and talk to them or like I said the longer the AAL the better.

It probably will sag, even my rough country 3 inch lift with full leaf packs sagged down to 2 inches. If it does its no biggie though, just get a lift shackle to even it back out again.

They do charge a heavy handel fee but with tax and fee it was $227.99 OTD . It comes with u-bolts for both axles and shock boots,shocks,aal,coils. I did an S-10 bastard pack on rear instead of the aal. Cost $40 for bastard pack. Had to replace all hardware that didnt come with kit. All in alll I have about $300 into it. Im ordered Skyjacker discos and steering stabilizer which came to another$150. When you break off the rear shock bolts on the top ,and you will. Just drill a 5/16 hole in floorboard and run 3in long bolts through from the top to mount your rear shocks. Thats the easiest way I could find. Silicone the bolt heads and washers beforhand so no water gets in.Good luck. If you have any questions on the lift pm me cause I learned a few tricks for making it go alot easier. You dont need spring compressors for the front .

You can buy standalone Rough Country shocks, or one gentleman posted a way to make stock monroe shocks off a YJ work in his Budget Boost writeup.
