No pro's, just cons.
It will ride like crap unfortunately.
If you want to lift it a little, you are MUCH better off with either a cheap lift kit that replaces the springs, or up to a 1" body lift.
Rough Country makes about the cheapest lift kit, and their customer service is second to none.

I have add-a-leafs on my xj and they're not as bad as I suspected them to be. They're not the greatest ride but better than some vehicles Ive drove.

 

The Yj's use the front AND rear though, so double the beating...:rofl:

Typically they just make the springs stiffer. But they are cheap, or at least they used to be. IMHO they are just a band aid, but some people use them. If you're not worried about a stiffer ride and you're a typical broke Jeep owner, then I suppose they could work for you.
But IMO I'd save my $$$ for a nicer set of BDS or OME springs and shocks. You also would'nt need a BL with new springs, either. :thumbsup:



WRM :cheers:

 

yea wasnt thinking on that one sorry

 

Bandaid, but before you spend the money, get under there and make sure your existing leafs are in decent shape. I did my lift because my original springs were broken in at least one leaf on every corner at the hole for the original sliders, meaning at least 4-6" of leaf was missing. To be fair, my jeep has never been driven by an old lady to church every sunday...

 

I'm with these guys. It's a bandaid. Save the $100 or so bucks and get a kit. I'm running a 3.5" Black Diamond and its pretty good. I also run slightly longer boomerang shackles front and rear and a 1" body lift is in the works plus TJ flares.

 

Dont do it, I did the same thing 3 mounths ago and it was the worst money I have ever spent. In fact if you wait a couple more weeks I will GIVE you mine. But my sons go cart rides better than my yj. Take the advice and save your money for a real lift.

 

GIVE huh?? That bad hahaha!

 

Thanks a lot for the help guys this really helped make my decision a lot eaiser... i love my jeep and i would much rather spend more money and replace the whole suspension!

 

I added some 3" add AAL to my 2-1/2" lift springs. Got about another 1" or 2" out of it. Rides rougher but no more fender rub. I'm happy.

 

Run away, as fast and as far as you can.

I will never run them again. Combined with a re-arch, the springs would regularly beat me to a pulp on anything other than completely smooth pavement.
