Whats really the best way to go in the back? I have seen kits with blocks, shackles, or AALs. I am going to replace my leafs when I do it if thats a consideration. I like the looks of the OME kit someone had on here but I'm not shelling out 800+ bucks for 2".

My current thoughts are getting just some Dorman replacement leafs and adding the Rusty's 2" budget boost with the AALs. Seems to be how I can get by the cheapest. Is their a good reason for me not to do this? Or is there a better option that I can get into for less than $500?

Vehicle is 96 Cherokee Country, DD and hunting vehicle. Most 4WD use will be in snow and mud mostly on old farm roads so I'm not thinking I need crazy performance characteristics.

 

My preference is bastard packs. I used just the main leaf from an Jimmy and got a little over 2". If you do a little google searching there is a ton on bastard packs.
