I have the choice between a new set of wheels and a new set of leaf springs for Christmas, keep in mind that I have problems with both, my lift right now is just an AAL previous owner put that on and lift shackles because they still sagged and they don't sit even the drivers side isn't as tall as the passenger, also I do have a slightly bent rim but still holds air. I can not decide which I want more, I'm leaning towards the leaf springs tho

I'd go leaf springs and look for a cheap replacement rim that'll get you by. Depending on lift size springs can be had for around $200-250 for the set.

You can make a bastard pack of leaf springs by visiting the junkyard and pilfering some off of a S10 or a blazer... Cheap and relatively easy.

Wheels would be more useful if you have bent rims....

It's not bad, It holds air and doesn't effect anything just a slight bend in the rim

You can buy a full leaf/coil 3" lift kit from Rustys for just a little over 4 bills for a complete package all American made with VG leaf/coils.

it's already got a 3 inch lift but it's AAL and there pretty worn out, so I was just going to do the leafs because the front appears to be in pretty good shape

How's the front lifted. Coils? If you do the rear, honestly you might as well update the fronts. Go with the kit and get leafs an coils

Fred/N0AZZ

He's correct then you will know exactly what you have and all new parts.

Wheels are a dime a dozen used. Bent rim looks kinda dumb but if it's not affecting your ride and holds air they're not going anywhere. Leaf springs are pretty important and I know from experience how awful 3" AALs are lol
