When I have my 93 xl, I had an ad-a-leaf on it. I used Skyjacker shocks and they rocked!

What's the price of those 'Lint?

I know the Load levelers are a little pricey around $100 a pc. As for the Nitro's they're around $40 a pc.

Oh, and Scott, please make your Sig a little less vague please (I.E.- year, engine, etc.)

I got them a while back and had a shop install them. I got new leaf packs for both sides, ad-a-leaf, shocks and leaf shackles for about 500.00 installed. If I remember right the shocks were 30-50.00 each with the boots

They would be worth it for Scott since he has the rear lift shackles

Get rid of those blocks ASAP...they create axle wrap and wear out your U-joints/driveline a lot quicker.
