UMMM I think you might be mistaken.
my stock 99 leaf pack has 4 leafs in it. and pretty much every XJ I have seen in the junkyard has had 4 leafs as well.
sounds like this guy has an AAL

this xj has a 2 in teraflex coil spacer and i thought it had 2in shackles but the more i have learned from here the shackles are stock so the lift had to come come from somewere so i started lookn and saw 5 spring but they are all the same thickness so maybe lifted pack ill post pick tomorrow.

yea I just did a lift on my XJ yesterday and just to make sure I wasnt talkin out my azz I took notice of the stock leaf count and just as I thought I remembered it had 4 leafs stock.
it now has 5 but 3 of them are from an S10 p/u and it also has a 4" lift now instead of a 1" sag
