Default 3in full leaf and 2in aal???

Hey all,
First post on here and it might be a dumb question. I have a 99 xj and recently put on a RC full 3in leaf pack and coils. want to go a bit higher so I found 2in coil spacers that came with 2in short aal for the rear. will this work???

The front will work fine. The rear will not. Since you are already sitting on a 3in leaf the AAL will do nothing. Those AAL are for stock springs only. They add 2in of lift to a stock leaf. You can use a 2in shackle though if it already does not have them and a 2in spacer up front and get 5in lift.
