Default 2000 Jeep Cherokee Lift Kit

Hi there installed on my 2000 jeep cherokee sprt is a 4.5 inch rough country lift kit short arm lift. I got the kit for about 459$ and it had an ADD A LEAF for the rear (dumb I know) I am looking to put new rear leaf springs on my cherokee will the ones below work?

http://www.partsgeek.com/c86zvcp-jee...ep+Leaf+Spring

In the description of the link it says the leaf springs Height 3.5 in. - 4.5 in. Depending On Application; Incl. Bushings; Ride Heights Will Vary

My question is will these leaf springs Level out my front with the rear? The add- a leaf- creates sag in my rear.

I'm not a fan of pro comp. Go with rustys or rubicon express springs. May also consider getting a 3 inch spring with a longer shackle as well.

I use a 3" Rustys leaf and a 1 1/2" Boomerang Shackle in my 4 1/2" lift. The ride is very good with those leafs and the shackles give you excellent flex, you will find the Rustys leafs are the correct length not like the RC ones which does give a better ride.
