You can go with S-10 leaf springs.Depends on how many leaves you use depends on how much lift. They are cheap too. I picked up a set from the JY for $40 and they dont sag. Best of all is you dont have to touch the main leaf so they are easy to install.

in my opinion the best brand of suspension for jeeps is rubicon express.

if you want a little lift. get a pair of RE 2.5 inch leafs and 2.5 inch coil spacers. they will give your jeep the smoothest ride ever. off road and on road.

Did s-10 bastard packs, looks great. I also like how I get hardly any sag with my boat hooked up. The ride is pretty terrible though.

Better off going with new springs since they sag and break over time. Since RC only seems to have add a leafs till you get to 4.5 and 6.5 Rustys has them not bad price either http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan...gory_Code=LEAF

Mopar/Jeep parts dealer @ $89.00 each. My choice would be Old Man Emu. Pricey, But well worth it.

x2 I love Rubicon Express. They make quality parts.

For a nice soft ride though I'm gonna have to say OME.
