Stock Leafs are under my 95 yj, and their not quite flat, but there getting there.  I dont have any lift in the jeep at all and i am able to fit 31" tires without much rubbing.

I was thinking of going with a 1.5" shackle lift, and shocks to match.  Will this flatten out my leafs?

Should i just look into getting new leafs with 2inch lift?

Im undecided....

I think it may just be worth to "add a leaf", this supposedly will give me 2" of lift.  But i have heard that if you lift your jeep 2" you need to lengthen?? or lower?? the steering box?

COULD SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

the add a leafs will help the saggy springs and make the ride a bit rougher, the shackles will simply add about half the length of the longer shackles in lift height. personally I'd opt for the add a leafs...

a longer pitman arm is all it'll take for the steering, although with saggy springs and adding 2" you shouldn't need to mess with the steering at all.
