Default New lift

so im thinking about putting a much needed lift on my 98 xj. the rear end is sagging so at a minimum i want to replace the rear leaf springs. but with the total for all the parts coming in close to what a 3in lift would cost from Rustys. and wanting to do an 8in pro series 3 link from clayton down the road. im having a hard time figuring out if i want to do a small lift now and then the big over hall later. or just do a revamp of the current suspension and wait to do the big over hall later. any suggestions would be great.

Very true. Anyone have an opinion on rustys lift kits? They seem to have the best deal at $1700 for lift rims and tires.

Do a yahoo search on rustys reviews. Half great half real bad, mostly there service and shipping sucks. You can put together a lift and wheels and tires cheaper when u put ship cost in.
