Thanks,
John

a leafs and center bolts for the rear. You can reuse all of your stock parts

a body lift to this and go even higher. This is the perfect entry level kit
for your Jeep and easy to install in about 2-3 hours with normal hand tools.
With over 100 of these kits sold it is a proven kit. So what are you waiting

Hi John,

Add-a-leaf (AAL) kits are cheap and easy, but they put stress on your
stock leafs and cause them to sag sooner than they otherwise would. Some
AALs are 'long leaf' and some are short. Short AAL are really bad. Note
also that your original stock leafs are probably already sagged out
after 14 years and thus you will not attain the advertised 3" lift by
adding leaves.

You can go with AAL to see if you like being lifted and then throw it
away when you upgrade after your springs are shot. Get a local spring
shop to re-arch your stock springs before you add leaves.

Better yet, do more research and set your final target instead of
wasting money on an upgrade path with throw-away components. First, what
size tire do you want? How much suspension lift is required to clear the
tires? Avoid body lifts. Regearing is desirable when increasing tire
diameter. Thought about lockers? Some stock axle components aren't
suited to big tires. Speedometer may need to be recalibrated. Driveshaft
replacement or t-case drop sometimes required with lift. Longer shocks
required. You may need to lower your track bar bracket. Extended bump
stops likely required. You might want a dropped steering arm. Brake
lines may need to be extended or relocated. Many little details are
easily overlooked when planning your first lift.

required suspension components:

Lifting is expensive. Using incomplete kits with cheap components makes
it more expensive.

Thanks for the info... I am new to the jeep scene.

I do plan on putting 31" tires on it. I guess I will start there. I want a
smooth ride.
