After several searches and research, I don't believe I have all of the advice I need. I have a 1999 XJ that I'm looking to do a low lift on - less than 2in, but enough to accommodate 30s. I would like to keep my lift under $300, but my leafs are sagging. I read about budget boosts and aal options, but what is the longevity of these if I have saggy leafs? I'm not looking to do serious off-roading (let's be honest... I really just want it too look nice and ride comfortably).

There are a million ways to do it, but I'd like some advice on the following options:
-Replace the leaf packs with OEMs and then add a budget boost with spacers and shackles.
-Get the 3" medium duty OME leaf packs and remove a leaf to make closer to 2". Add spacer to coil springs.
-Get Rancho 1.5" leaf packs and add spacers to coil springs.

I've recently replaced the shocks with Monroe Sensa-tracs and would rather not change those. Any and all advice is welcomed!!

Don't buy an AAL kit if your springs are sagging.

Buy some Medium duty OME packs and a 2" coil spacer.

Yes - I was thinking new leaf spring packs were the best option. Anyone have experience with Rancho 1.5?"
I might stick with closer to original stock height and go with Dorman HD springs and get a nice A/T 235/75/15 tire. I plan to use this as a daily driver and want to maintain MPGs but also get a more aggressive look.

I have a 2" lift a pieced from them.

Old Man Emu full rear spring packs - $120 each
Daystar coil spring spacers up front - $50
New ProComp shocks - $32 each

So, you'll be closer to $400, but it will be WAY better than any kind of AAL or shackle lift. Been running mine this way for three years with ZERO problems.

I know you said 2" but if funds are okay id do 3" with 31's and maybe even some flat bushwackers and you'd have a nice small agressive looking build. You could do some a/t tires to to keep the mileage.

I suppose I could keep my sensatracs with that setup and be fine also. That would keep me in the $300 range. I saw that you have 1.5in wheel spacers- that is probably something I would go with.

I appreciate all the advice now I just need to convince SWMBO I need all these things
