some of you may have seen my other posts on this, but i have been narrowing down my problems, and i am doing this last one to hopefully get a final solution for my problem
i have a pro comp 3 inch lift i got as a gift, and everything is good, accept the rear lift. its a short aal, and from what i hear from everyone i am 90% sure it will sag out within a year. so, i have two options, as follows:
i can go with a full length aal, or all new lifted leaf packs. the advantage of the full length aal is its alot cheaper, and the advantage of the full pack is its a sure thing, and will not sag. i have done some searching, and all i can find so far, for a decent price, is rusty's off road. they have rear leaf packs and full length aal's, but only 3.5" lift, which i ASSUME would still be ok with the front lifted only 3 inches.....anyway, the full 3.5" rear leaf packs would be about $300 shipped, and a pair of full length aal's that are 3.5" of lift would be about $90 shipped, so i have a couple questions i would love to have answered.....
Would the rusty's 3.5 inch full length aal's hold 3 inches of lift, or would they sag out? if anyone has had experience and know they will just sag out, i will go ahead and get full leaf packs. And if they would just sag out, Where else can i get a pair of full leaf packs, 3-3.5" of lift, for under $300? and what other brand should i consider? thank you very much for any information, im excited to do my lift, but i want to do it once, and do it right. thanks

looking at your profile picture, i would highly recommend full leaf packs. Look into rough country as well and check vendor section. Grimus is giving us 10% off as well as Rough Country's free shipping so that would be a pretty good deal if you ask me. Then you wont have to worry about that leafs holding up cause you would have all new springs. Hope this helps.

ya after doing some measuring i think full leaf packs is the only way i can go.....my rear leafs are slightly inverted. Also, i measured from the center of the wheels to the fender, and on the front, the drivers side was 18", passenger side was 17 1/2", and in the rear, the drivers was 16 7/8", passenger side was 16 1/2". so ya, ill talk to grimus about rough country full packs. im thinkin its either gonna be those, or the ones from rusty's off road, depending on which i can get cheaper.
Contact Grimus in the vendors section. He will give you the information and 10% discount. Otherwise ebay or ironrock offroad has at least had just the 4.5s by themselves, but like i said pm him and he will hook you up.
