Default New leaf springs

Hi All

Been away from here a while but had nothing to talk about XJ working faultlessly!
I have fitted new leaf spring and now have a Jeep with a high back end and a low front!
They have been on about 3 months so have settled down, do I need to put new springs or those booster things in at the front?
Will take a pic when I can

Without seeing pics... sounds like you need to boost the front.

Did you put new OEM leafs in? Or aftermarket leafs/AAL?

Probably time to post some pics and start measuring.

Hi Guys

Can anyone help with this query as to whether the rear is high or the front low?

Measure from the center of the hub to the bottom of the fender flair. Should be 17.5" front and 17" rear

This.

And those pics aren't great, but yes it looks low in the front. Might just be the angle though...
