Just like all XJ owners out there, my 2000 is experiencing a sagging back end. I was thinking about installing a 3" Trailmaster add-a-leaf lift kit. Will this be a good way to take care of the sag and get in the air or am I going to turn it into a buckboard wagon?? Thanks.

If your already sagging avoid add a leaf because it will sag just as bad in a short amount of time. Look into a full leaf pack lift.

This is the time to consider a full leaf/coil lift package with shocks and all hardware. You can buy one with excellent quality leafs and coils made in NA from Rustys Off Road for $438 a 3 1/2" kit.

Your leafs need to be in great shape to even consider an add a leaf kit. Otherwise it's a bad investment. Sounds like it's time for new leaf packs.

Lose the air shocks they should never be used on any unibody.
