shocks or leafs?
My rear end is getting to sagging quite a bit and I was wondering if I should get some hd leafsprings or a pair of shocks that have a bit of lift to em. I will probably end up doing both but I don't have enough for both right now. Which one is a better short term fix?

Ok. Im planning on 2.5-3.5 inch lift. Any recommendations on a budget friendly pair of leafs? And if I get bigger leafs do I need different shackles?

If your rear end is already sagging dont get shackles unless you just wanna buy springs a year later. Just go to seriousoffroad and buy the RE 3.5 inch leaf packs. Under 100 bucks a piece, and shipping is basically pocket change.
Edit: i read wrong and thought you were buying just shackles. Just get the leafs I just listed ^^ and youll be set. If you can afford more go with OME leafs!

Just relocate your front lines (takes about 10 minutes), and buy either a yj rear line or a dodge dakota rear line. Both cost about 25 bucks, and installs in about 20 minutes.
