Been looking around and can't seem to find a replacement rear leaf spring that will give me a 1" lift. I don't want to do an "add-a-leaf" thing.....just want to unbolt my current stuff and replace with fresh parts.
Could have sworn someone mentioned Rancho makes something once, but can't seem to find anything.
All I'm looking to do is regain some rear lift as I think my rear springs are done. Spending money on OE to have OE height and then re-occurence of sag is not something I want. I don't know anything about bastard-packing, nor do I have time to do that, so that's not an option either.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Probably......but I don't have access to parts needed to do it, nor the space or time. Believe me.....I'd prefer going the cheapest route on this, but I don't have the time for it.

Well, looks like I will achieve my 1" lift with some leafs from Morris 4x4. They have a HD leaf spring that is an OE replacement that will net the 1" lift. Put in an order yesterday, so hopefully will have all the parts by Friday so I can get the Jeep rolling smoothly.

You could of just ordered them from a mopar dealer. They where offered in three different rates. STD. rate, w/4 1/2" arch. Most commonly used. HD rate, w/ 5 1/2" arch. (If not carry a heavy load will give about 1" of ht. But ride a little stiff) And the Offroad pkg. springs (or UP country pkg.) w 6 1/2" arch. Gives the vehical 2" lift. I beleive they where about $98 apeice.

I am also interested in raising my rear up a few inches to account for old sagging springs. Has anyone tried these shocks from Monroe to do this?

don't put a bandaid on it. Just fix the problem.
coil-over shocks are not your solution, and will be WAAAY more expensive

Yea so I'm having the same problem with my springs. I just got brand new OEM replacement springs from quadratec and I'm not that happy. They are better then my old ones (mainly cuz they were inverted), but the new ones are flat!! I have basically no weight in the back (donut, plywood false floor, and sub). I didn't bother calling quadratec and telling them that I'm not happy cuz I figure they won't take them back cuz they are already mounted. Should I bastard pack it (which I'd rather not do, considering my dad would freak) or get some adjustable RC 1.5-2" lift shackles?
Thanks

I have them and have had no problems with them. They boosted my back about 3/4 of an inch (not that I was really looking for lift) but since I haul trailers fairly regularly they keep the back from sagging ridiculously when I have a trailer hooked up.
