Default 2000 XJ Suspention

Just some quick question.

Yesterday I replaced rear shocks in the XJ. After bolts broke in the frame and fixed that. My buddy pointed out how flat my Leafs were. I never really paid much attention to it.

So should I just add a leaf to stiff it back up or replace the whole pack both sides.

Also everyone talks about doing Spring over Lifts. I'm not saying I for it or against it. But I just happen to be looking at my jeep right and noticed the Leafs already sit on top of the Axle is this stock on the XJ or did someone do this already??

I'm looking into lifting it to about 3inch. I have been told over 3 and have to start doing more. If be happy with a 2inch lift. I'm not looking to spend million bucks and I'm not a hard core beater just the weekend trail rider. Would going with Blocks on back and pucks in front be ok. It's not a daily driver just a bomb around town kinda thing.


Thanks

Yeah spring over isn't something you can do on a xj.And the flat leaf springs is normal from the factory they have almost no arch to them.
