AAL vs Shackles
I know the difference between the two I just have a few questions about them based on peoples experiences...
Which is easier to install??
Which do you prefer??
I'm looking for a friend who wants a cheap 2-3" lift

That's what I thought living here in MN too but I have been happily suprised on all of my Cherokee's....or maybe its my obsession with using PB on everything for a week before I even begin touching it.

Add-A-Leaf will lift your rig by arching the springs more. Ride will be stiffer.
Shackles will also obviously lift your rig, but the leafs tend to reverse arch. Ride stays pretty much the same.
For the amount of lift you are looking for, I would do a 1.5" shackle, AND an added long leaf (eyes cut off) from a Cherokee donor pack.
I did this, and got 2.5 inches. Rides great.
