lift ?s help please
Ok so I just installed a 4.5in lift on my 96 cherokee and there's no way it gave me that much I'm running 32s on stock 15x8 rims and they still rub...bad! I had 3.5 in poly lift on my 95 and my 32s didn't rub I know my leafs are wore out bc the lift came with a 3.5 in shackle n an add a leaf and it still set down 3in lower in the rear so I added a 3in block and its just now level I just added it bc I had too I don't like block is there any way to fix this? A cheap or easy fix? And also what are bastard packs how cld I get em or w.e.

Where would I purchase that at? I see rustys has new 4.5 in leafs for like 240 or something and an "full add a leaf" for 60 but I was told add a leaf wouldn't help me bc of it being so worn

Couple of questions. When you say your rubbing, are you talking when flexed or are you rubbing when you turn? The stock rim backspacing might be the issue if your rubbing the control arms when turning. If your talking rub at full flex it might be a lack of longer bumpstops. Last question, what kind of lift is it? I've never heard of a lift with that long of a shackle. Toss up a little more info and maybe one of us can help you out.

Yea and that's exactly what happen it screwed my springs up even more now that's why I had to use a 3in block as a temporaly fix until I can figure out what to do and right now it rides like s**t I can't even ride my new born in it bc I'm worried it'll sling em around I took my rear sway bar out prior to installin the lift n nev er had any problems but now with the shackles n blocks I can't hardly drive it
