NEWB question
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this...wasnt sure if it should be in the lift section or not but heres my problem...I have a 97XJ that I just installed a Rustys 2" bb on.I also put on some 31x10.50s of course!The thing is that measured from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender on the front and I got 20"I also left the stock coil spring isolater in along with the spacer so it seems like i got 3"s in lift, BUT........in the rear the measurement from the wheel center the bottom of the fender is 18"(rear has shackles)this really bugs me.Should I do a aal?or leaf pack to make up the diff???any ideas?I need to gain that 2"s to level it out.I dont do any serious off roading that requires lots of flex, mostly just lite mudding,You can really notice it in this pic..Thanks in advance

yes you can notice my suggestion is go to the jy and get leaf springs from a dakota or a s-10 and make a bustard pack by taking the leafs and adding them in between your stock leafs till you reach the hight you want. thats a cheaper way...i wouldn't do a aal ive heard a lot of bad things bout them

X2 on the S10 springs.. If you cut the eyes off the S10 mains and put them under your mains you should get about 1.5-2", if you need more replace one of the XJ leafs with another from the S10 pack, swap springs till you get what you want.
