AAL = fail, better off with new leaf pack or small blocks/shackles

I have experience with AAL, my rear end is sagging quite a bit now. I'm (hoping) to buy a new lift kit with completely new springs in Early jan.

As far as a long-term plan, they will sag. New springs would be the better option.

i have the same RE 2.5 on my 2001 cherokee. I bought it with it on there already. It rides like crap. i would just buy a standard 3 inch lift for $100 more. i plan on getting rid of the crappy budget boost when my RE 5.5 comes in.
