my 96's rear end sags now...an AAL will not last long as you are not replacing your sag. I recommend a full leaf pack. As far as the other parts, go to roughcountry.com or rubiconexpress.com and see what their lifts include. At 3", you won't need to go overboard on replacement parts...then again, every jeep acts differently to a lift.

The AAL's i had on my 96 didn't last long at all, I got a rough country 3" with full leaf's and it's been great no probs installing or anything it came with everything you need except i think the bolt' for the leaf's themselves but you could pick those up at a nearby hardware store.
