Default leaf springs

How many leafs come in a stock xj pack? Mine has 2-3 I believe. But they look tampered with and my Jeep sags a bit.

most had 5 to 6. both of my xjs had 5 stock. i made a bastard pack for my wheeling jeep. i now have 7 springs. i kept the main stock leaf and then a spring off a 1997 ford f150 then stock then ford then stock and so on it gave me about a 6 inch lift. you can mix the srings with just about any other leafs as long as they are the same width

It wasn't until I got off the ground and came in with the camera that I noticed you hadn't looked at yours! Anyway, now I'm sure I have four. Another 10 pts for Cherokee forum!

I've heard of ship wenches but not trailer wenches. Is this a Nor-Cal thing? Tell us more...

What's the deal with the deck there? Looks like water evaporated from the shadowed area, should be vice-versa

Please crop that pic and send it into a photo mag, it's got character! The frost melting is a winner!
