It will probably lift it. my pack was flat and I used the 2nd leaf out of a Dakota pack and it gave me 4"s

Well the dakota leafs that I used were almost brand new, So that might be why I got so much lift.

When I did my bastard pack, I used only the main leaf out of an S10 swapped it for the XJs 2nd leaf. It ended up netting me 1.75" of lift from completely flat. I was happy with this because the rear shocks will work up to 2" of lift and my brake lines were not strained. Sure I was a bit higher in the back end, but I no longer bottomed out and the suspension was better.

hope that helps,
s
