get the 2 inch, its only 65$ and youll sit level.

that would be much cheaper. and easier.
also, if you look at my pictures, i had dual floor jacks under my axle and i raised the driver side up enough to lift the truck off the jack stands and it still didn't give me enough room with having the passenger spring compressed a few inches.
so 95RAM360, try it 004's way first and if that doesn't work then you'll have to take the track bar loose. also, keep in mind where you put the compressors. if you have them in the wrong location then when you put the spring in the compressors will hit the spring bucket. and taking them back off just to relocate them sucks.
also, don't forget to mark your springs before you take them off. i didn't have something to mark them with when i did it so i just grabbed a center punch out of my box and marked the end of the spring with that.

i tried advance but the guy at the counter is an idiot so i gave up while i was up there.

you can also find them on summitracing and bunch of other places if you google it.
the only thing you need to research is if they have the same threads as your shocks. so if you get them from advance (they'll probably have to order them) then you could just have them take a new shock that is the same as yours off the shelf and see if it will thread onto it.

or you could go 2 1/2" an put a 2" add a leaf in the rear.
why not just get shock extenders? http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...shock+extender
that would be much cheaper. and easier.

haha i put the frame on jack stands and used one jack to lower the axle, then used 4x4s under the lower ball joint, to hold the weight, and jacked up the opposite side to do it.

how are blocks on these trucks..if you mention them in the jeep world youll get laughed at... every one talks about them breaking and causing axle wrap... another question i just read your write up on the spacer lift and you said you have to get an alignment... any one get away with out having to get one rather not turn 80 bucks into a 180 bucks... i could buy a body lift again and be 3 inches higher.
