Need new suspension advice
Currently have a stock 98' UpCountry with very tired rear springs and the front rubs on full lock either direction with 30". Looking to lift it, but would prefer to stay around 2" as I don't think I need more, keep the center of gravity low and I have a set of WJ lower control arms I plan on using for tire clearance. What would you guys recomend, other than spacers and OME I am having trouble finding any kits with all new springs under 3", and most kits that are covered on here seem to be 4.5" or larger. Thanks.

Yes I have checked into Rustys, I see they have a 2" coil AAL kit but I would like to stay away from AAL I do like the spring rates on their 3" coils though, don't know if their 2" is the same yet or not. But I would prefer to stay below 3" of lift as I have been reading troubles you have to address with TC and shackle angles once you get to 3" and above. Would I have to address anything else if I stayed at 2"?

about a year and a half ago I put the 3" AAL kit by Rough Country on and I love it. I really like the height on 31's. and the AAL hasn't started sagging and I've put about 20,000 miles on it. The one downside is it is a bit of a rougher ride.
