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.

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.

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.
