Found a guy locally selling a long and short aal for cheap, my question is if u put the long and short together aal together would this be an efficient way to lift the rear and have no issues? im looking to go 3". Thanks.

It all depends on the condition of your factory leafs. Idk about using both. I'd only use the full length one

depends on what the AAL's were made for and the condition of his current leafs. the AAL's for a yota are alot lighter than the ones for an XJ. if his current leafs are sagged out this wont ride terrible probably stiffer than stock but not bad.

I think they were made for 3" cause he's selling front coils with them that are 3" and my current leafs are pretty flat.

I was assuming, my mistake, that the aal for his XJ were made for an XJ.

I'll admit I don't know much about them, only removed springs from two vehicles with them because they were sagging. I would think they would be somewhat vehicle specific since lots of vehicles run a 2.5" spring. I personally wouldn't want some for a full size truck on a light weight jeep.

i guess my thoughts are that its like a mini bastard pack so i think it should work, i'll have to talk to the guy and ask him how he had his jeep setup but he only wants $15 for both so u cant beat it.
