full pack for sure. the add-a-leaf essentially lifts the rear using just the single leaf. eventually it will sag and you will lose lift.

I just lifted my xj with rough countrys 4.5in add a leaf kit. Add a leaf sucks. I lost 1 1/2" of lift out back within the first month of completing it. Keep in mind this was with a relativley new leaf pack with 28,000 miles on them. So If i could do it again full leaf pack. and it is a hell of alot easier to install.

Rough country is a great company though, they will give you great deals if you buy numerous items from them. I got about $200 off for all of the crap I bought from them directly.

We don't say they have the best customer service for the heck of it. It is because they DO!

i just have a tcase drop and i got the 4.5" kit. i got full packs and im glad although my bottom leaf on the passengers side cracked in half on me but i hope its under warranty since the lift is under 7 months old. however, rough country shocks suck!! i want to get some OME when i get money
