X2. Just relocate brake lines like this, and get after market lcas to RE center your axle. But with a later model jeep, drive line vibrations are more common on 3 inch lifts than with pre 97 jeeps.

Ok so any suggestions on brands? Any I should avoid? From what I have seen briefly looking seems that by the time I buy springs, LCA, and 4 shocks I would be just as well money wise to buy a complete kit. You guys agree or am I shopping in the wrong place?

True but I would think they would be stronger as you are using multiple leafs to creat the arc as opposed to one doing all the work.

Completely untrue. You are essentially using the xj main to adapt the new pack to fit.

I used to have those tires, and you'd be better off with Duratracs. They're pretty good all around but are TERRIBLE in the mud. Clog up real fast and spin easily

I agree with hennessee

Its not at all like an aal, unless you took a single leaf from a donor pack, and added it to you xjs existing pack, then it would be like an all.

Some people even mix the xj leafs and donor leaves alternating them, that's not at all like an aal.

They are okay if you never leave pavement. I had them for 3 days and hated them so much I took them off and sold them.
