If you can afford it, I would get the SYE kit and a CV shaft as well while you are at it...  If not, you can always use the TC lowering kit included in the lift kit, but you will loose some ground clearance as a result.

Thanks to all for the advice.  I've decided to stop using the jeep for now and am ordering an RE 4.5 XD lift kit to replace the springs!

Good choice, the XD's are supposed to be the best traditional lift kit.

Good idea its the leading side of the spring if it breaks the axle will walk back the driveshaft will come out and other not at all things will happen
