PM me if you have done this before and wanna share. thanks!!
Hockey pucks is dumb. I played hockey from K-high school and than D2 for 3 years after graduation. We only used pucks for 3 seasons cause than they dry rot. Imagine how much faster that happens when exposed to the elements.

I agree with most of you on the no block part but AAL only works if your rear leafs are in good shape(no sag), and 90% of the factory xjs out there have saggy rears. The OP says the rear was already sagging so blocks and AAL are both bad ideas. Only way to fix the problem is full packs.

That should be the way everyone does it.

It is but sadly people don't. If you dont want to spend the money and do it right chances are you will end up like the pics above.
