Default lift kit! need help asap!

ok so my local jeep shop got me a really good price on a rough country 3inch lift kit with add a leaf. I was the rear shackles from rough country but there on backorder and i really need this done asap. Rusty's sells just the rear leaf springs lifted 3.5inch for 220. Is the .5 inches lifted in the rear really going to be noticeable?? has anybody done this before?? let me know asap please!

After the front springs sag it will be more noticeable buy a one inch spacer for front also but sell the aal get some money back at least .

I always recommend replacing the stock rear spring because they have how many miles on them they have weakened over time and will only make your jeep squat in the back once your lift settles.

if you're going out of your way to buy just a pair of leaf packs, go big and get some decent ones. you'll be much happier spending extra to get Old man emu or Rubicon express. you can always add a spacer to the front
