Default 4.5" lift help

Well I am most likely getting the 4.5" add a leaf zone lift kit for my 98 Cherokee. I know everyone thinks add a leafs suck and sag and are stiff.....but I started talking to a local dealer and I told him I wasn't gonna do very much off roading, maybe just mild trails during deer season. Mostly just like the way the lifted jeep looks. But anyway he said I wouldn't have much trouble with aal due to mild offroading if any. What is everyone's opinion on this? Will it sag? Will it be a stiff ride?

Will it sag? Are your stock spring sagging, then YES. If not Maybe. Stiff Ride, Yes. But GOOD shocks will help. Lift provided by AAls will be reduced by the amount of sag in your stock springs.
