Default homebrew full leaf packs

so i recently picked up some new leaf packs that have four leafs made from stock xj packs and the leafs from a 4.5 inch lift pack i bought them the guy said that they gave him 3" s of lift i was wondering if there is any way to tell with them off the vehicle now i have to replace the centering bolt on one of the packs so i fugured i would throw in another leaf from another stock cherokee pack i was thinking the main by cutting off the eyes at either end will this do anything
