Default Lift!!!!!

I was looking around my jeep and i noticed that both of my leaf springs are pretty much flat, I wanted to lift my jeep with an aal kit but does anyone know if it is jus better to buy a spring pack kit. I dont know how leaf springs are suppose to look when the jeep sits. there pretty much flat all across. Are they bad??

yes all factory leaf packs go flat, they suck. They say the add a leaf is only as good as the pack it is added to. Get new full packs to replace them, if you go with an AAL it will eventually sag, especially if you wheel with it or tow anything.

XJ leaf parks are flat they have very little arch to them stock,and yes a full spring pack is way better than an add-a-leaf

Default No to Add A Leaf

I started out with a 3" lift with AAL's. AAL's Suck. It made the suspension super stiff. Just do it right and get a full leaf pack from a reputable source.

Rough Country and Rusty's would be best for not having to spend too much. always go full leaf packs and never do blocks.
