Default 3" rustys and heavy load ?

Hello,
Sorry for my english.. I'm from France...
I have a 4.0L XJ year 1992 and I have to buy new leaf springs, and lift a little.
My XJ ride with LPG? (gas) so I have the gas tank (80 litres) behind the rear seats.
I have seen the Rustys suspension kit 3" (with rear leaf springs, not aad) and I'd like to know if the leaf springs will stay at 3" for a long time...or if it's better to buy a OME 2" kit (it look stonger)
Thanks for your opinion

Thanks

I have the Rustys 3 inch rear add a leafs on my Jeep and they have over 100,000 miles on them and havent sagged yet. Rustys is a good decision to make unless you want to spend alot of money elsewhere. I hope this helps you.

Thanks for your opinion laredo, this is helping me, to make an idea of different lift kit. I try to read the forum but it's not easy...I don't speak very well american.
I think ome is too expensive for me, I'm looking for Rustys 3" or RE 3.5"

If anyone whant to tell me how his lift kit resist to heavy loads and if the lift stay constant in the time...

Thanks
