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.

Were you talking to a mechanic, salesperson, or office clerk?

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..
