i'm about to put a 3" lift kit on my 97 xj, i was wondering what are the benefits between the add a leaf vs the full leaf and also im stuck between a rough country vs a rusty offroad lift, your advice will be really appreciated.

First this is the wrong place for this post, besides that....you can get away with aal if your stock leafs have zero sag, obviously full packs is a better option, I've had experience with both rusty and rc, to me rusty makes a more quality product and.a rusty lift sides better to me. I have the 3 inch rustys kit and netted around.3.5+ inches. I also opted for the rustys steering stabilizer which helped the little wobble I had. I've had mine.for close to a year now with no problems, install was easy...my lift has performed quite well offload, flexes good and takes a beating, go rustys and call them to order that way you get cheaper shipping, any questions you can shoot me a message

Go rough country rustys customer service sucks they dont warranty their parts and they have horrible joints i never have problems with my RC long arms coils shocks joints
I'm very happy with my RC lift and sorry no opinion on Rusty's except their customer service is lacking at times but have no experience with their lifts. Definitly spend the money for the leaf packs either way though.

My rough country lift is decent, and it was cheap.....also you'll get about 30-40 bucks if you call and chat with them a little before ordering over the phone.

Go with Zone Offroad for your lift. They have a 3" kit with full leafs. Better quality IMO and are owned by BDS.
