Default lift question

ok, so i have a little lift question. my jeep is stock hight and the back suspension is kinda shot. i dont know if it would be considered sagging leafs or not. the leafs are pretty much going in the opposite bend that they should be. would an add-a-leaf work for that? thanks

No dont put a AAL to a sagging pack. It will help for about a year maybe. Buy a new set. They only run about 130$

either. If you wanna lift the whole thing then get a full kit. But if your looking to just get the rear back to stock height, just get a new pack.

like everyone said do not do aal it will help for a year maybe then continue to sag. if your gonna lift it and wanna do so cost effectivly then rusty RC or RE are your best bets. if you wanna stay stock height just get new rear leafs.
