OK my 99 jeep came with a 3inch rough country lift. 3inch spring in front add a leak in back and 4 new shocks. sure dont look like a lift to me but it could jus be me. i would really like a 4 1/2 inch lift 5 inch tops. this will be used as a family truck daily driver and your regular trip in the woods camping or to ski resort. nothing crazy. should i build the suspension from what i got or jus save and get a brand new kit?

looks like it sags in the rear a bit.... maybe revamp the rear add-a-leaf with some leafs from a dakota or s-10 for now but if what you want is a nice solid lift then save up and buy the one you want

I say trash that kit. I coincidentally bought mine with the same kit. The shocks blew in about 10k miles and the rear add a leaf never stayed strapped in correctly; Not to mention I'm not a fan of blocks (mine had the add-a-leaf and a block). I went with IRO's 4.5" springs and the ride quality improved immensely. Check out the difference in spring wire diameter between the two.

This is my exact question.

Here are my plans...

I have a RC 3 inch lift with rear AALs.
I am going to add 2 inch spacer up front
New rear 4.5 inch spring packs w/ 1 inch shackles or
3.5 inch springs with 1.5" shackles.
adjustable upper and lower control arms for 5" lift or control arm drop brackets and stock arms.
extended sway-bar end-links or discos( dont really need them)
and relocated front brake lines.

I am trying to piece this together with used parts.

I am primarily driving this on the street as DD. I will wheel it on the occasional weekend, but nothing hard. (I have another truck for that)

i was thinking something like this but i guess in my case i would end up replaceing everything so i would be better off getting a kit

def very noticeable thanks for the info

so when i eventually get my new 4.5 inch lift, any recommondations to other parts i should get as well? right now my front end is pretty ****ty. one of my sway bar links is bent, and the sway bar bushings are all streched out and worn. hopefully when i replace these parts i can drive straight down the road.
