since i am in the process of looking for lift parts or a lift kit, i have 4" inch lift coils off of a wrangler, would these give about 4-5 inches of lift to my xj? and im looking for rear leaf packs since i have heard so much crap about aal's, which would be better rough country leaf packs or rustys leaf packs?

 

the only issue with AAL's is that they don't generally last as long as full leaf packs.

 

the coils won't give you 4" lift... more like 3-ish depending on how old they could be anywhere from 2.5 - 3.5" but they deffinitely won't give you 4"
and i would go with Rustys leafs

 

as said the tj coils brand new might net 3.5" lift but thats it as for leafs i have heard that rustys leafs are horrible couple guys told me that they went W on them pretty quickly no experience with the RC leafs but i have there aal kit and the front and rear is holding up great but my rear has a 1" shackle to accomidate for some sag and my leaf packs in the rear were pretty new i got tehm off a newer jeep in the JY

 

use s-10 leaf pack in the rear....cut the eyelets off the main leaf of the s-10 and slap it under your xj main leaf. gave me 4.5'' of lift and they flex like crazy and wont sag out cause they are already broke in.......cost me $26 at the junk yard, cheeper than aal

 

I have the Rustys leafs and they flex ok, but the bushing went out quickly and I bent them. If I did it again I would go with a 2" leaf, 2" shackle combo, and the some relocation brackets for the shackle.
Go with Rough Country if you are set on either 1 of the 2 options

 

thanks for the help!
