Lift Sagging?
Recently while getting into my jeep Ive noticed that the lift is sagging a bit, it feels/looks like it is. I only got it in October 2009 to, what should I do?
I have a 3 inch Rough Country lift kit, http://www.jeep4x4center.com/jeep-lift-kits/rough-country/cherokee-xj-3-inch-suspension-lift-kit.htm
I don't want to add 1 whole inch because then control arm issues would arise, but half an inch should work out well. I was thinking that if I could use like a spacer or new shocks or parts from a 3.5 inch lift then that would make it lifted up again? I also want to keep this kinda cheap like around 70-100 bucks max.
BTW Yes I am pretty sure it has lowered its not just me me thinking it is.

Is it sagging in the front or rear? What are the measurments? http://www.mike-g.net/jeep/yinyang/tech/tech.html
Most lifts actually start out a little over spec, and settle. Did you get the AAL or full springs?

If it is AAL, that would be your problem. If you add a AAL to bad springs you still have bad springs. The AAL will make them look good for a while. This is why most people are so negative about AALs, they are only as good as the spring they get added too.

2xs. I bought the same lift but went to the jy and bought S-10 leaves and did a bastard pack instead of the aals. Mine is ridding high and hasn't sagged at all.

So if I add one leaf to it from something like a chevy trailblazer that would work out? Or should I take one of each out and replace them with what? I have heard you can use chevy trailblazer leafs? But I am absoulutely certain that I changed the suspension springs.

You pull an xj leaf and replace it with an S-10 leaf or trailblazer leaf. You can also use Dakota springs.
