ok so the wife is making me buy a lift for my jeep (i know i have just a hard life )

So i have two options. budget or RC

The budget would be a fat boys garage 2" spacer and shakle kit. alot cheaper (which is good) and easier to install in the driveway with hand tools

The RC is a 3" coil and add-a-leaf. about 150 more expensive. and probly harder to install with handtools

what is your guys opinion?

go with RC, putting both kits in are going to be equal. and personally i think doing shackels are a pita compaired to leafs, as with aal you can cheat and install the leaf without removing the top leaf from the shackles. and as far as installing the front, either way your going to have to remove your coils, and both kits can be installed with basic hand tools (and a buddy to help)

X2^. it's just as hard to put spacer and shackles in (your taking the coils out either way) and it will look much better with the 3".
