Back in the day, I seem to remember that shops could re-arch leaf springs.
Do shops still do this? And if so, would it be possible to get 2" (+/-) of lift out of stock XJ springs?
I was discussing lifting my XJ with some work buddies who have mechanic experience, and one of them suggested re-arching. I was dumbfounded at such an obvious possible solution that I had overlooked.
What are your thoughts/experiences?
Thanks!

 

Yes, I used to have it done all the time and they even added a longer main leaf.
The shop is closer to me now.
Search "Superior Spring" they are now a chain and made me custom coils for my old ford mud bogger also.

They even make ubolts cheap while you wait!

 

It can be done, ask if they heat treat the spring as well. If not, it will return to where it was quickly!! HTH!!

 

Good spot, I forgot to mention that. It's been awhile since I used them.

 

Cool...
Thanks for the info!
