I would recomend a kit with full leaf packs. AAL's can ride harsh and sag. this kist has full springs, its only 3" but could be bumped later with shackles and spacer... just my 2 cents. http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan...ode=sus_xj_kit

I would call them and ask if they can sell you it with bigger shackles and no add a leafs. Or just ask how much more for a lift with new leafs in stead. But I bet you would be much happier if you just waited and got the long arm 4.5". Much more road friendly and a ton more flex.
