Getting ready to order AAL springs for my Screw.

Pro-Comp or Skyjacker? Do I need the bend clips? Longer shocks? Anything else? Thx in advance.

I would say skyjacker because they are a little longer than the procomps I think im gettin mine put on tomorrow and as far as the bend clips go I dont think you do you might want to get some of those rubber pads that go between the springs but thats it and longer shocks you shouldnt need em the factory ones and actually pretty long to begin with

I went with ProComps and I don't think the brand matters. It's a simple piece of steel. Make sure to grease the contact pads or you'll get a really annoying squeaking the first couple days

I found a set on eBay for like 80 bucks, but I think they are off brand. Do you guys think it makes a difference or no. Also, what's the difference in a short or long aal, which is easier to install?

Yeah, for 15 more I will, I didn't realize they were all that cheap. How hard are these to install.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I will do the long leafs, from whomever has the best price. I will add a pair of bend clips as well (belt and suspenders, only $5/pair).

Waiting to install them when the Colorado weather warms up.
