Question just got my cherokee

i've been researching a little trying to figure out exactly what i want and i've come to a 3" lift with 31" tires with black rims on my white cherokee. the issue i have is the lift. i've seen both packages where it comes with an " add a leaf" suspension or just getting new leaf springs, so my question is, would it be better if i got the package with the new leaf springs or is it pretty promising to just get the add a leaf package and get the same amount of lift? i'd like to save $200 if i can.

Welcome to CF. I'd go with the full springs too. Your old tired springs won't give you what you want with an add-a-leaf. Or it won't last.
