one thing I have learned is make sure u dont go too small because as soon as you put it on you will want to go bigger.

of the two i would go with the latter, but personally i would try and avoid AAL's. They are just prone to sag with your stock packs. either save up for some new packs or build a bastard pack with s10 leaves.

well then either a bastard pack or an AAL is going to be what you are looking at. If you do go the AAL route be expecting to need to change your packs out again in about a year or so depending on the condition and use of your XJ.

Everyone is on a budget pretty much...I said that and got the RC 4.5 AAL kit. I kick myself everytimei think of the "Add Full Packs + $150.00" and I did not select that box. I would advise: get full packs for a 3 inch kit

I don't know about that, my full packs won't settle down. Still 1in taller in back. One way or the other I guess. X2 on the full packs at least I can pull a little trailer.

how long have you had your lift for? have you tried riding around with a little weight back there for awhile?
