Anyone tried them? Do they work? Are they worth it? Should I just go w/ Rough Country?

They're just spacers and AALs, the rear might sag pretty fast id look into full packs instead and if you were looking into rough country almost all of their kits include shocks as well

Yeah, just a harsh riding cheap alternative, i did a rough country 4.5 kit, with shackles and aal's in rear, sagged a bit cause leafs had 120K on them, got some brand new leafs from jy and now i am sitting 4.5-5 proper. Dont buy ebay kit unless you have to.

Never tried those.. But for if your looking at this for your 91 then you might as well get full leaf packs since the factory springs sag like a ****

i doubt that you would get 3inchs of lift with just a 2inch spacer and one leaf. for my 4inch lift i got brand new coil springs, shocks for front and rear, a 2inch shackles, and add-a-leaf.

For keeping it low budget, I've heard JY Thunderbird springs and S10/Blazer leafs added to your stocks net a 3-4" lift. I think I'm gonna do this because I don't want spend too much, and I love franken-building stuff haha

We used that exact kit on my buddies beater '84, and it is what it is. A 3in coil spacer and an add-a-leaf. It netted almost 3in of lift and cleared a set of 31's.

lol it actually comes with a 3" spacer hahaha but thats ok...
but like everyone else said though your better off going with the full leaf pack to begin with... because either way you taking your leaf spring either apart or out and after you do a " 3" AAL " you'll eventually want buy a full leaf pack after your AAL pack sags and then you'll have to do the rear lift all over again
