Re-Arching leaf springs
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! |

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!!
