Talking rear leaf pack question.....

Does anyone no much about ( 3.5" Pro Comp Rear Leaf Springs 84-01 Jeep XJ Cherokee ) are they any good? are they known for settling alot? are they worth $190.00 plus shipping? They wont be used for hard core 4 wheelin mainly looks and mild mud holes. Any help?????? Thanks for your input..........................Moe

Pro comp makes great big truck lifts So I would think they would be ok. I think they would be worth it.

Pro comp is more of a show truck brand not an actual utility vehicle brand. Personally I would stick with one of the more off road proven brands.

Is that 190 each? or for both? If it were for both, man that's cheap but you also get what you pay for

For his style of driving, they may be fine. If he's looking to make an expedition vehicle and do heavy wheeling, he would be better off with RE.

Thank you all for your opinions thats what I need, cause I didnt no. But there wont be no hard core stuff on this XJ it just aint built for it. It dont even have limited slip rear end in it. Mainly I just need a positive arch spring so I can haul a small trailer or my bass boat, cause right now with the stock neg. arch springs they really sag in the neg way when Im lightly towin something...............Thanks............ ..........Moe

Getting some new shocks with it? If so, which ones? If you don't mind, i would recommend skyjacker hydros if you are lookin for cheap but good shocks. They get the job done and even come with a lifetime warranty. Leak or break, take em back I had two sets of these on my tj.

If they are the ones summit sells I'd pass...My buddy bought them for his cherokee and after about a year they sagged down to 3" of lift..Not very good quality at all just looking at em compared to my RE leaf packs.. He also bought some 3.5" leaf springs but forget the brand and they have held their position and sit at just over 3.5"..
