if you put money into a lift , all the components will be removable , to be accessable to your next project . when one jeep dies you but another . so if you buy a lift for one jeep , just take the axles , with suspension attached and scrap the rest , even paying 500 you should be able to get 200$ for shredd metal..

full leaf packs for sure or pick up some good JY leafs. the rear passanger side in your pics looks like it is just about inverted. a lift will not take that much sag away imho. just a thought. also if you do a 3 inch and do decide you would like a bit more lift later you could always throw a 2" BB with shackles and spacers on. and then get a hack and tap SYE if you want to save a little bit o money and want to run 33s.

Alright, ya there is damage on both sides. One the Orig Owner hit a Construction sign after hitting ice with bald tires (passenger side) then on the drives side a month before the passenger side, he got hit by a car in the snow.
