I'm just trying to give a newbee some good advice. You think there are more people in favor of AAL's then full leaf packs. Start a thread and do a pole. You will find you are retarded. It's not even a worthy argument to anyone who knows anything about XJ's or off roading in general.

 

Look at my pictures if you want to see my 3" aal after a year...

 

Full packs all the way, even if its a bastard pack an aal wont last

 

maybe he has the back loaded down with recovery gear, spare parts, camping gear? im pretty sure any vehicle designed to carry ANY load comes with the rear higher so that there is room for compression when under load? maybe you should take some things into consideration before you oppress your will and let the OP decide on what lift he will get the most bang for his buck with?

 

I had that kit and it sagged down to only 1" over stock.

 

i vote full packs as well. i went to full packs in my truck. however that money can be spent in other places if need be. if he has a good leaf pack they will be fine. if he has the extra money go for full packs i recommend OME's for the good ride quality they give. if he doesn't have the extra money AAL's are not the end of the world.

 

Haha every time I finish reading the thread, someone new has posted... Always a fun night on the forum!!

 

x2

 

I'm waiting put up the pole and see what everyone thinks of AAL's vs a full leaf pack? If AAL's win I will withdraw all of my statements and say I'm sorry. Bad advice is worse then no advice. Hint hint dumb***

 

That's what I was trying to say earlier. X2

 

Yes not the end of the world but something that will have to be corrected later. So why lift at all if your going to do a half *** job and re-due it later.

 

you happen to read post 2 of the thread?

i said to do full packs.

twice

me too lol no idea were the AAL argument exploded from. wait

the AAL i ran on my truck were $30 shipped they are the same ones that work on XJ's full leaf packs are $180+ that extra $150 can go to adjustable LCA's or an adjustable tracbar or hell throw in $70 he could have something really useful like an SYE.

 

cash money on hand

 

It exploded form people trying to say that AAL's were just as good as a full leaf pack. And sorry but anyone who ?'s that should not own any 4X4. Unless it is a Chev 1500 with 6" blocks and then the government should step in and properly remove them from civilization.

 

i reread the thread no one ever really said that AAL's were as good as a full pack. several people said they were acceptable and usable. i do agree with your point that AAL's do not give anything close to the performance of a full pack.
