So i am wanting to give my stock 95 xj a lift but am short on funds. this might be a dumb question but i was wondering if there was any rear leafs from another vehicle that would bolt onto the xj and give it a bit of lift. I already plan on buying extended shackles and front springs. If it isn't possible then i'll just go with the RC lift kit.

thanks guys

You can get add a leafs from dodge dakotas, and i think s-10s as well.

i'll search for stuff on bastard packs. I was asking about the full packs because mine are super worn out. they have a negative arch to them. Is ther any way to know how much lift i would gain with a bastard pack, like how many leafs to add? I'm trying to get about 3 inches of lift out of it.

I always wanted to do the same thing for my Jeep. Just never got around to it...
But anyways here's a website that I found a while ago and was gonna do my lift based off of it. It explains everything you need in it, with pictures and instructions... Here you go:

Edit: The lift explained in the article gives you about 3.5-4.0 inches depending on some of the supplies you use.

so after doing a little calling around, i decided to just go with a 3in lift kit. turns out there is only like a $10 difference. I was thinking about either the rusty's AAL or the rough country. any thoughts?

If your leaf springs have a negative arch, you definitely don't want to go with an add leaf lift kit. You need to get a kit with full leaf packs. Rough country and rustys both offer them.
