Default leaf springs

thinking about getting rubicon express leaf springs.. are these going to sag?? or what other brand do you recommend .. my cherokee i believe has rough country AAL on the rear and sags big time

another question should i get 3.5 leaf springs.. my cherokee has a 4.5 lift with the AAL it has lift shackle on it so thinking 4.5 leafs would be to much

i bought the cherokee with the lift on it already

My RE 3.5" springs netted more than 3.5", and 6 months later they are sitting at the same height.

Ive been through 2 sets of re leaf springs. Both turned to crap within a couple months. Then again someone who doesnt beat on their rig nearly as hard and has lighter,stock axles and smaller tires will obviously have better luck with them.

After re I went with clayton and they held up for me without issue.

RE is quality hardware, just go full packs and you'll be satisfied.
