can anybody help

 

the first link showed nothing,go with the rustys full pack stay away from AAL kits they sag pretty quick.

 

what is the aal kit

 

Well, first off you don't want Add A Leafs because they sag. Also, with a 4.5" lift you'll need extended brake lines, new control arms, new track bar, shims, transfer case drop, and to drop the stock sway bar. That $669 kit is the better of the two considering it includes full leaf packs and coil springs and appears to include everything else needed. A slip yoke eliminator would be better than a transfer case drop and shims, but also involves a lot more work. Also, if you want to rub larger tires, you may want to consider regearing and/or locking the differentials.

 

Add A leaf uses your stock spring pack. You take it apart and add one or more leafs to produce the lift. They don't last too long compared to full packs.

 

so which one should i get an also i have a 2wd

 

good deal. i'd say go for it. i just did my 4.5" this passed weekend. i probably got right around that much tied in my lift kit. get the stabilizer too. and your next step should be SYE and gear swap. i only went up to 31x10.5 and the jeep let me know that it's not happy.

 

so witch one ?????

 

Full leaf packs are better than Add a Leaf. Get the kit with full leaf packs and it will last much longer.

 

Go with the kit from the middle link.

 

you have a 2wd right? You wont need the TC drop or a SYE kit,so everything is in the kit you need,the only extra would be a new steering stabilizer.

 

ok sweet i love my 2wd tho never been stuck cuz xj jeeps just ROCK

 

when you get it all done be sure to post pics

 

would i need to get sway bar or anything
