Springs or lift kit
I've ran into troubles deciding what to do. I have the aal in the rear with a 2" shackle but it's sagging. I want new springs but theyre kind of pricey rusty's + shipping is about 300$ and then I still have to get ubolts. I almost feel I'm better off ordering a whole kit. I'd love new coils too cause mine are sagging a little too. Now I have LCA's, uca's, cad's, shackles, brake lines and shocks. I need to call down and see if any company would work with me and sell me coils, leafs, and a track bar and possibly new LCA's since the bushings in mine are shot for around 5-600$ shipped. Has any one done anything like this?

A rear 4 link kit is going to cost a heck of a lot more than a set of leaf springs.

Upper & Lower links
UCA & LCA
Upper and lower coil mounts
Properly shocks....
Unless you your ready to spend $1k+ you're better off sticking with leaf springs.

I'm thinking 4 link build it my self for around 150-200$
coils from jy 30$
Ill pick up a 8.8 truss it for around 200$
Sway bar 10$
The coil buckets won't be to hard at most 20$
Around 500$ for a 4 link and rear axle upgrade. No axle wrap problems and a smoother ride. I'm not doing a bastard pack it's the main leaf that's sagging.

You save about 20% on parts by buying it In a kit vs. Individually. I'm going to see if rusty's wouldn't work out a custom kit and lower the price some. I hope they will cause im growing tired of all the old suspension parts.
