Hello everyone. I am (actually my wife) just got a 96 XJ so that she can join me on the trails with my YJ. Currently the XJ is bone stock 4.0 4 door auto with a np 321 transplant and a 8.25 and Dana 30 set up. My wife and I look forward to searching the forum and learning about our newest addition.

My first plans are to find a decent priced lift. I am seeing that most of the budget lifts are just a add a leaf type. Are the AAL a decent deal with the stock leaf springs having 160k on them or should I just man up and get the new leafs? Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Welcome to the forums

Where at in CA? I'm in modesto myself.

also the AAL kits are crap the AAL sags quickly, I'd save some trouble and heartache and either spring for a new full pack or do a bastard pack.
