I think waiting and seeing how much you're going to have to spend is a good idea.
You stated that your suspension was sagging bad, so you'll need new coils and new leaves, spacers for the coils and add a leaves for the rear will not fix your problem, they will just be a bandaid.
If you plan on staying with a 2 inch lift, you can get new coil springs and new leaves from OME which is as good as it gets for under $400

Check out these springs.

I had not intentions just using the spacers and AAL's as a band aid. Trust me, from past experiences with friends and reports from members, the AAL band aid sucks. And they wear out nearly instantly. I had planned on getting new leafs and coils irregardless.

Well, considering I will be getting new leafs either way, what do ya'll recommend with the shackle and leaf eye bolts that go into the unibody? If I use PB and an impact, should I be good to go? Should I just bust the welded nuts out and use new hardware?

Youll be good with an impact and pb. I got mine out with pb , breaker bar and 2ft pipe.

I guess this is what I like to here. I'll be ordering new bolts from teamcherokee then, and hopefully all will go smoothly. Worse case scenario is I break a bolt, then just cut through the bottom of the mount and bust the old nut out and use new hardware, right? Optimism

New bolts for the leafs? you'll be fine using stock one. Besides the u bolts, you'll need new ones which will probably come with the kit
