Default Yet Another Lift Dilemma

Okay, first off is this garbage?

http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.as...8&partID=42400

I'd like to get full coils for the front because I'm sure that mine have seen better days. Will an add a leaf help for the rear, or should I just go shackles? (seems a lot easier)

Anybody know any cheap cheap kits that have front coils, shackles or add a leafs, and shocks included?

i'd go AAL before i go shackles it will give you more lift and that kit does not look bad and a pretty decent price

the rough country 3 inch kit comes w/ front coils AAL and shocks for 255

okay, I assume if i do this daystar lift, I wont have to change the shocks.

If i got for a RC 3" I'll obviously need shocks. What can I get for 3" lift cheap shocks?

Rusty's 3" aal is only 265 with shocks. I think i've decided on that. Now, I think i've got the dana 35, but how can I be sure? I looked all over the pumpkin but couldn't find any markings. Any way to tell?

Thanks, Sean

Dealer looked up vin and says front end is a dana m30, rear end is a 175. any help?

I called the dealer to have him check what rear end I have.

He said the front is a dana m30 (yes)
rear is a 175?

This should help you decide which one you have.

Angler check your post about this subject. The pics in post #6 will help you decide but the dealers number (175) makes no sense to me.

That link you have there goes to the BB that I have on my XJ. Garbage? Let, me put it this way. This BB boost leveled my XJ out when my "Garbage" Rusty's lift wasn't sitting level.

That 175 could be referring to the last 3 digits of the tag number but the parts manual doesn't show a 175 on any tag numbers..
