I would not do an add a leaf. you will end up replacing it down the road.
get new coils ($100+ shipping)
new shocks ($120+ shipping)
and either a bastard pack (JY prices may vary)
or
full leaf packs ($250 or so + shipping)

I would say spend a little more and get a full lift kit, rather then a spacer and shackel lift. This kit was on the same web page the kit you were looking at. Its only around 120 dollars more and a much better kit plus it comes with shocks. As to what you were looking at didn't and would have to buy shocks aswell... so in reality buying a true lift kit to begin with saves you money and gives you a better ride. Plus you have tne option to upgrade to full rear leaf springs instead of the add-a-leaf. Here's the link to it.

It looks the same as the one I was referencing..by that I mean the last one I referenced..I should have been more clear.. $255 won't break the bank, and I can add the full leaf springs down the road a bit.
