I emailed them and they told me the leafs would be roughly 3.5 lift in the rear. Just figured id put it out there as an option.

oh ok so 3.5 would be ok, and if nothing esle i could put 1/2 or 3/4 inch spacers under the front springs to even it out. with 3.5 inches of lift is there anything else i would need to do? like lower my transfer case, or anything like that? i saw somewhere that they reccomend to extend your driveshaft when you get a 4 inch lift...would i need to do anything like that with a 3.5 inch lift?

I have a 4.5" Rough Country lift with the transfer case drop kit that came with my lift and stock driveshafts without any problems. You shouldn't have ANY problems with the lift your planning on getting on stock driveshafts.

I had the leaf spring center pin snap on me and ended up busting my knuckles! So I agree with using coil compressors and C-clams for the leafs.

ya when i did it it was extremly easy. lifted the jeep up really high on stands, unhooked the lca's, springs, trac bar and dropped the axle down. the leaves practically fell out on their own. no need whatsoever for a compressor. just lift it up high enough.
