Default Sagging Leafs with Tuff Country Lift.

Hello again everybody,
My topic for this morning is Sagging Leafs with Tuff Country Lift. It appears that the old leafs are sagging almost 1.5-2.0 inches. My lift for the rear was simple with 3.00" spacers but now I am wondering what I should do to fix the issue.
a) One option I have is to replace the old leafs with nex 3.5" lift leafs from Tuff country to keep all my parts the same also I can remove the blocks (Spacers).
b) Another option is replace the old leafs with OEM springs and reuse the spacers again.
c) Add a leaf to my springs and then reuse the spacers.
d) Anything you guys can think of.

Currently I am leaning towards the new "lifted" springs and removing the spacerss however I am concerned that my jeep wont sit how I want. What do you guys think?

Also the tuff country springs are a little less then the OEM replacement springs.

My Cherokee is a 2000 with approx 150,000kms

People buy famous $%#^ name brands and end up with problems. I raised my xj 3.6" with pucks under the top of my front coils (later changed them for longer coils and shocks) the rear springs made them bigger by adding 2 springs (made a new old pack of 6 springs plus 1000 lbs add-a-leap) with a homemade steel block under the springs at rear. Of course had to buy longer U bolts (but go to ur local steel company and have them made ur length) cheaper and better quality than ur parts store.The rear shocks I put extenders on them (home made) It was a cheap way of going at it..but it lasted till the big fire many hears later.
In your case try add-a-leaf .. I really don't understand why people have so much trouble...

Its not that I am having much trouble as it is more what is the best way to fix some old and worn leafs. The kit itself has been great just the original leafs are sagging. I think that the add a leaf is my cheapest option and still may persue it. Thank you for your reply.
