I know MJ shackles give an XJ around an inch of lift. but are there any other vehicles that have shackles that will lift an XJ?

i haven't checked them out, but since we use s-10/blazer leafs to lift our jeeps, maybe their shackles will work. but that's only if they're the same size at the frame mount.

but i think your best to use mj shackles, since they're spring under, they give around an inch.
don't think anything else will get you any more.
