Go to the jy and buy leafs from an S-10 and do a bastard pack. You can get them for $40 for both sides. Also go to carparts.com for the lift. They have it for $227.99 out the door with shipping. Thats where I got mine and am very happy with it.

Hang on a second... I know you're new so please understand I'm not trying to be critical, just want to help. If you're going to spend money upgrading your jeep - DO IT ONCE, DO IT RIGHT. Trust me, you'll save yourself a ton of money in the end. One little upgrade here and there on a budget, just to be "re-upgraded" again down the road is a waste of time and money (ask me how I know). If you need new leaves in the rear, pony up and buy a full replacement pack with the lift you want. It'll ride better, and last longer, than buying a stock replacement pack and adding the AAL. You're spending money either way, so why not spend the money once and spend it right? Something to think about.

well the thing is that i can't find a lift kit thats 3" under 400 dollars with new leafs. If i buy new leafs i will pay $175 and then the 3" suspension from RC with add a leaf is $255 and that comes out to around $430 so if you can find me a 3" suspension around 500 dollars with new leafs then we will have a deal but thanks for the DO IT ONCE, DO IT RIGHT. I no it would be easier but i'm looking for the easiest/cheapest option

This is your best bet then ^^, do what he said. OR, if you're patient, just keep saving up money until you've got enough to get the full kit you want. Patience goes a long ways in buying the right parts the first time.

I agree with them. I wanted to do a lift right away and i had a budget. So right away i bought the 3in suspension lift from RC with the aal. I like it alot i have nothing bad to say about it, But now i want to go bigger. And i have been looking for the cheapest best way to do it and there is no way. I should have bought a bigger lift right off the bat that has everything i need in the kit and its cheaper than buyin the stuff i need to go big. So now if i go bigger im just goin to buy another lift kit and put it on. Im thinkin goin 5-6in. So like they said do it once and do it right.
