| I know spring pack is better. Is it worth the extra money. I am looking at a Rusty's 3 inch. Wife's jeep I don't think it will see any hard off-road use. Unless my Wrangler breaks |

full spring packs are worth the extra money. .02. Bill Jones is the only one I have seen that has had success with add a leaves over the long haul.

Screw this put on a 3" body lift!! On my light little TJ my 3" add a leaves sadded down to about .5" in roughly 2 months. How about this though...How about some bastard packs? I took a Durango/Dakota main leaf and cut the eyes off and those babies have not sagged a bit!!

Never had good luck w/ add-a-leaves 1st set((superlift/supertrash) SUCKED sagged bad in 4 months 2nd set a little better lasted about 1.5yrs! Rusty's spring packs are resonably priced & hold up well. Just my .02 worth

Great choice! Don't skimp...one thing I've learned after building quite a few jeeps.
