just get those $15 and just keep in mind no major offroading and you are all good....Also remember when you own a jeep the term budget does not apply..

now that is a heck of a deal right there..you won't be able to get the used ones welded and bought for any cheaper.. Belto I'd consider the ones mud posted cause the ones you are looking at delivered would be $25 and it'll cost ya more then $25 to get em welded for proper support..The ones mud posted are $50 shipped..

imo, budget boosting the back (which i've done) isn't great. the rear stock springs are tired, and mine actually are a little less than flat. you're gonna do it, then realize you want to do better.

i'd save up and do a better lift.

True. I ain't really budget boosting in the back. I have old man emu full leaf packs that give 2" of lift and i needed a little more so i added the OME AAL, which get me 3.5 total. It's a little on the stiff side so the shackle will bring back the softness.

well thats good, newer springs will help, they will still wear out sooner cuz it puts different stress on them.

most springs are pretty tired after 60k or so, and by the time you hit 100 on them don't bother with budget boosts, like i did
