Hey guys, Im gonna replace my rear leafs and shocks...they sag so bad that my tires rub over bumps with a passenger in the back seat. How much do new leafs go for at stock height? I plan on lifting it but right now I need it to be more relieable as I should be heading to Basic Training in a month or two. Also since lifting you jeep can cause driveline vibes and noises is it possible that the sag could do the same? Some times when I start my jeep I hear a whomp whomp whomp noise...I check the driveshafts the U-joints seem fine and havent been able to find the culprit of the noise...if it helps I can feel it in the floor when it happens.

I would just deal with it for a couple of months and then when you get back just put the lift on then.rather than pay to do something twice.just my thoughts.

Now this is the issue I'd address first. Might be the torque converter bolts..

If your not wheelin it right away i would just throw a 2"block under the rear. It wont effect the ride that much at all,you shouldnt even notice it.and it will be a cheap way to get what you are after untill you are ready to do a real lift.there about twenty bucks at the zone.but i would not wheel with them ,i broke a set once.
