On the other hand.......................
I have done 3 xj's using the main leaf from a stock pack. All of them ride phenomenal and none have sagged in 4+ years. Shackles work and are easy to install but they put additional wear on your springs. Long term isn't good. Just like a short AAL it will have a negative effect long term. Check this out. Want a few pics let me know.BTW add a xj main leaf you get about 2" of lift. Do xj main plus second leaf and you get about 2.5" of lift but you should get new u bolts.

Whole set of S10 springs minus the eyes added to the original master leaf on your XJ will get you about 2.5-3" of lift and a decent ride quality.

I hear that shackles flatten out the leafs over time... what if the leafs are already flat? Are shackles still an option or should i look at new leafs?

If you wanted more lift you could go this route. http://www.lunghd.com/Tech_Articles/...udget_Lift.htm
