so u pretty much just trashed the springs out of the kit and installed the zj springs? what shackles did u use to extend them, and how much did extend them buy. how much did that cost ya? Sorry for all the questions but if it will save money and get just as much lift why not do it, i never though about using the long arm kit and then adding my own stuff, duh brain fart! haha. let me know.
