How much lift did you gain from your bastard pack?
The reason I'm asking is that I'm collecting parts to do a bastard BB, and trying to get a handle on how I should build my leaf pack to get about 2.5".
Thanks!
BTW, way to go.... It looks great!
Did it take you more than one try to get the height where you wanted it?

ha this is def not my daily driver and i doubt she will see anything becides trails she is gonna be a trailer queen... lol. and as far as hanfle she has no front or rear sway bars and worn out rear shocks so im guess in she will have some nasty body roll with the big lift.... but i built this in 3 days and i only have 750 bucks in this jeep including all parts used and teh cost of teh jeep! so this has been my "project cheap jeep" but i will def get up ome pics of me wheeling it tomorrow!

thanks draken and 00xj we are gonna see how well she holds up tomorrow. and honestly i have no idea how much lift i got outta it....i sat about 2.5in lower in the back than the front... and i added teh 2 larger dakota springs my aal and then some stock worn out xj springs and i got it right on my first try is a 1/2in lower in the back than the front.... i didnt use the other 2 leafs outta the dakota pack. i didnt wanna lose to much flex by runnin to stiff of a spring in back... on and it alos has a lift shacle in teh rear... and i dont know how big it is. i fiure it aint to bad for 3 days worth of work. lol.
