Hey guys I want to get a lift for my jeep (3 in preferably) and I don't want to spend the money to buy new rear leafs, but I think I have to. As it is right now with 4 people in the car the fender wells hit the tire. Do I have to get new leafs, or can I get by with add-a-leafs?

You may be able to get away with AAL's but it's better to go with new packs. You will thank us later.

new leafs will be your best friend. or homemade packs with leafs in good condition. just ditch your current leafs, theyre probly flat or going the other way.

I think this is a pretty good deal and it should work great. Think I'll take the new leafs. Any objections? Thanks for the advice.
