shackles vs. add-a-leaf in the rear. Opinions? Will the AAL sag after awhile? What about ride quality?

I might get yelled at but, I would go with shackles and spacers up front.Good shocks and a stabalizer.your XJ being a 2000 your springs should still be in pretty good shape(aka no sage yet).

It's only got 86,000 miles. The rear spring are flat, but from what i've heard this is how the springs are on cherokees.

yeah the rear springs are flat look into getting a set of UpCountry springs.it was a factory up grade and from what I understand they are pretty cheap from the dealer.Should give you about an inch or so of lift but better than stock springs.
