only other thing you'll need to change if you want to keep full functionality of your jeep is rims... need something with a little less backspacing than stock, otherwise they'll rub the Lower Control Arms when turned all the way. Crager Soft 8's with 4 inch back spacing are a nice choice

It's not the brand you need to worry about, it's the backspacing. The distance from the back of the the holes the lugs go through, to the edge of the rim that faces inwards. Or wheel spacers could be an option too.

that's the kit i have, the AAL will sag in about 4 or 5 months, also rustys may seem cheeper but once they add there 5000000 $$ shipping charge it will be more expencive have you checked rough country?
you will need new shocks at 3" the stock shocks are just about fully extended
X2
i wish i would have listened when people told me this

Within 6 months, give or take, your rear leafs will begin to sag again more than likely. That is just what happens with AAL's. New leafs pretty much guarantee this won't happen.
