How big of a tire are you looking to run, what kind of wheeling will you be doing?
I ran a 4" Rough Country lift on my YJ with 33" tires, rode like a tank but got the job done. For a *cheaper* suspension it stayed sitting pretty level for its lifespan.

Well same as anything with leaf springs really just a rough ride. I honestly cant even remember how the YJ rode stock. Its bearable though, youll be happy.
