Honestly. Possibly not. Due to how leaf are made, every set Will lift a jeep differently. Plus the spring rate is higher than coils. But the leafs can be weighed down with sand bags.

MY SYE came from eBay from a member spotted ad here for $99 shipped the deals are out there if you shop. My driveshaft also came from an eBay vender Dave,s Driveshaft a Custom unit for my XJ with an SYE was $199 came with HD Spicer joints.

In the front to get the differental setup properly you will need Adj. Upper and Lower Control Arms for centering, pinion angle.

Rustys Off Road does have very good American made springs/leafs at good prices mine have been on for some time now and zero sag even with heavy load on them in front and rear. Prices were fair and completive quality good.

I think ima go with the rubicon springs. Then ima buy the new leafs for each so. Ima go with a 3.5" cause they don't make a 3". And I don't want to do the add a leaf

When you install an SYE you May. I say May because running extension shackles actually twist the axle upwards a lil and that can give th le required angle. Plus RE leafs iirc have a built in shim
