Just the springs. I was planning on putting together a bastard pack but my XJ leaves are so shot that I figured I might as well just replace them and get a couple inches of lift at the same time.

love 'em.
ran the light duty for several years, they were awesome on and off road with an empty, or lightly loaded rig.
I added belly up skid plate, chassis reinforcing and a heavy bumper out back. Still rode awesome, but when loaded up with tools/recovery gear and a 33" superswamper the rear sag'd mor than I desired.
I went to the 2.5" mediums... ride is still very good when empty (light duty kit was nicer empty on the road) but load carry'n is much better, and when loaded on/off road they work awesome.
My rig is my daily driver, and as such gets run around empty 90% of the time... the light duty kit was nicer in that role, but the mediums are what I need off road as I carry much tools/gear when wheeling. The trade off is worth it "to me".
little long winded, hope it helps.
