My rough country 3 inch lift I have is well priced and has great quality. Get the full leaf pack though, the AAL (which i have...) makes for a real uncomfortable drive.

I have the same dilema, i want to lift mine a bit but i don't know what to get...what about those blocks and U bolts kits that a saw at pepboys for $30? Are they any good? And 3" spacers for the front coils? I don't know ... I need awnsers too

The aal subtracts from ride quality a little bit, but it rides better than stock.Originally Posted by xjmafia

so your better off with a whole new leaf set up rather then aal? i posted 2 links to the kits i was looking at. im thinking of ordering that RC kit

Thank you xjmafia!!! So that means that shackles , spacers and good shocks will give me what i'm looking for?

nothing rides better than a full rubicon express lift. Its all about the shock though. I found that a 3000 series works the best. Find a shock that is equal to your weight.

Yeah, the full leaf pack is a more expensive option, but defintiely worth the trouble.Originally Posted by xjmafia
