Do you guys who have had theirs for a while like it. Do the full AAL's sag. I hear the shocks are kinda rough(no biggie). Just want some feedback
 
my bad posted it in the wrong place thanks for moving it
 
If your stock leaf springs are not flat or inverted into a frown the RE full Lent AAL works well and doesn't sag. Mine is 3 years old and still holding up. Just be sure to extend your bump stops. Over-flexing a leaf spring will cause it it to sag in as little as one day on the trails.

Deutsch Tech DT3000 shocks ride nicely on the road and the trails and are so much better than the Rancho shocks I had before.
 
cool i planned on upgrading to a full pack in a year or so so i am not too worried about that. How much bumpstop should i add because i am gonna get rid of my Rear sway bar when i do it. should it be around thae same as the lift amount or less. It has 235s on it now and i would like to get some 30in MTR's when these wear out. Thanks for the info man can't wait to get this thing in the air:thumbup:
 
Add a spacer to the rear bump stop and glue a hockey puck to the front axle pad (inside the coils springs). Get some 1.5 inch square or rectangular steel tube and drill holes to match the stock bump stop. Add some longer bolts and you are back in business.
 
89norcalxj,
You might rub a little. Just depends on how much "bumpstop" ya use.
A 10.50 wide tire will rub the lower control arms at full lock. 2 fixes...1 washers behind the steering stops... 2 Grand Cherokee lower arms.

Cool Thanks Tim I will be taking The week of memorial day off to get this(and some maintenance) done. I know its not gonna take more than a few hours for the lift but you know how those shock bolts are in the rear. So i guess I can get hockey pucks at the sporting goods store and some square tubing and make some bumpstop extensions that week too

...different offset rims. That makes 3 fixes.
