http://roughcountry.com/jeep_xj_4.html You can upgrade it here for 655, to full leafs. David beat me, but rough country is a vendor on here, you may get a better deal straight from them.

Every kit I've seen on this thread is made by the same company. Rough country. If you buy the AAL kit I doubt you'll find the new 4.5" leafs for less than 120.00, so why not buy the complete kit with the full leafs?

the first was rough country with add a leaf and you guys said to buy full leafs instead
so i found another 4.5 inch full leaf one at a resonable price that was also made by rough country . i didnt purposely pick those lift out to be by the same company it just happened
