Adding another xj main leaf will probably give you about another inch or two. I've used bastard packs on 2 (about to be 3) of my jeeps and that seems to be about how much lift it gives you. But it depends on the condition of the leaf you add.

get a pair of late 90s f-150 shackles for the rear good for 1" lift and will ride and flex much better

use S10 leafs it will give you more lift cause they have more arch to em. But like said above, the shackles will improve ride and flex. Just depends on what you want to do. Im guessing that you already have the xj main leaf so it would be easiest to use that

I eventually want to go up to 4.5" with 2" shackle in the rear and a 1" spacer up front. But some one said running stock shackles are a better ride and flex
