99XJ rear end sagging, need vendor link and opinions.
Hey y'all.
My stock 99 XJ is sagging in the rear end.
I would like to fix this problem and possibly install these 2" plastic lift spacers my son in law gave me that go above the front coil springs.
I have no idea if these spacers are a good thing to install or not, and if so will any additional parts need to be replaced or modified as a result of installing them on the front end?
If I do install the front spacers what kit should I get for the rear end to fix the sagging and also give the the 2" lift that I need to equal the front?
OR.........should I just fix the sagging rear with spring packs and forget about the front spacers?
All opinions encouraged and please provide a vendor link or install kit that I can consider......
Thanks for looking.

If the rear is sagging, then don't worry about the front. Your options are to get new leaf packs, get an aal, or drop shackles. You can install the spacers on the front and then see how much lift you will need for rear. If you do add spacers to front, the rear would probably benefit from a combo drop shakle and aal. Cheapest and effective. Or if ya got a couple extra bucks, like 400-1000, you can put a new lift kit in... Do some thread searching...

Quadratec or RockAuto. Make SURE you check shipping rates, they vary a TON depending on your location. RockAuto were a tad cheaper for the springs, but their shipping was 3 times what Quadratec wanted, so I went with Quadratec for mine. Its not a small job, but if youve got the tools and know-how (READ my how-to) you can get it done in a day.
