I had both on my previous montero- Not simultaneously.

I preferred the shackle over the add-a-leaf, despite the loss in departure angle and subsequent bad looks...With the SWB, the car became too nervous adding XXX# of spring rate in the rear; that could have been somewhat dialed down with a shock change. I may try the add-a-leaf first based on cost/install and see if my opinion changes.

MUD - Is the OME kit an entire leaf pack, or is it essentially just an add-a-leaf?

Ditto on the bushings - All will be replaced F/R - It doesn't look like that has ever been done.

Brakes - Of course, 98 Sport rear Axle - would love to at some point

Bodylift - All those items mentioned require more attention and modification when you lift 2" vs 1". I want a little more height after the "budget lift"; but plan to run no larger than 31s at the moment.

RXin - Interior handles are tan, but the color doesn't matter to me I can always paint them
