So um, The "Old man Emu" leafs are saging, and I want to know If i could put in an "add-a-leaf kit" by rough country to help this problem? Even though it says i shouldn't do it

If so, how hard is it to install thesse?

I have delt with these guys before they are real good people if they dont have what you need call them and they will make it for you they have great prices also.

Just checked em out, they seem to have really good prices....

But the question remains.... Is the add a leaf system do-able? how will this affect the height of my jeep?

The current leafs i have offer enough felx that I am willing to loose some of it...

May I suggest taking out the lame leaf springs, and putting in coilovers. The price has come down considerably, and you will get some Major flex.

Yeah man, but being 17 and making $9 an hour isnt the best pay either....I'll pass on the coil over kit....

Does anyone know if quadratecs price on their leafsprings are for singles or pairs?

Jeep is staying as is, considering that I still owe my parents a grand on the jeep.... Once its payed of, It time to re-do the whole lift... most likely spring time....

After so many positive , no glowing posts on OME shocks, I've gotta ask how old the OME springs are? How many miles? How much torture have they endured?

Their are about 6,000 miles on them, they are one year old i do believe, Lets just say the guy i bought it off wasnt to good of a driver off the road... The front tires are rubbing, you can see the jeep is angeled foward... So yeah, but I found a really good off-road shop about 25 mins away from my house... I will most likely be going to them after the holidays and gettin this taken care of...... I will also have them throw on my rock guards/side steps

OK, had to check. I have the standard duty RE 2-1/2" lift. I've got about 8,000 on it. Totally unhappy with the shocks. The doetsh junk shocks that come with the RE kit are the pits. First long distance trip not even any serious wheeling and I blew out a rear shock. The rig sways to and fro going around corners. Should have held out for at least the heavy duty kit.

I asked about shocks on the forum and the reports kept coming back recommending the OME shocks.
