as you all know after a while the stock leaf springs sag im looking at doing a 2 in lift i was going to get spacers in the front and shackles in the rear. i would also like to have my jeep sit somewhat level but cant find any bigger shackles than 2in...any ideas would be really helpful. i was thinking a 1 or so inch block, would that be ok? or is there something better. thanks in advance

 

Lift blocks on sagging leafpacks tend to induce axlewrap. I'd opt for building a leafpack if a new set isnt possible.

Lots of guys have built a bastard pack with S10 and Dakota assemblies.

 

DITTO, thats how i did mine, works great and only cost 30$

 

thanks for the info... how hard is it to make those springs fit?

 

you dont make the springs fit, you add extra leafs onto your leaf pack, its kinda like an AAL, except it doesnt sag after 2 months

 

oh i see... does any one have a right up of how to do this? sorry im a newb

 

Here's a good writeup- we did this to lift my friend's Jeep with my old springs.

I have a thread under Fabrication that you may want to look at. It does not involve lifting the vehicle.

 

thanks for all the info...guess i will be making a trip to the junk yard. will zj coils give me about 2 inches of lift for the front

 

they need to be V8 coils,they should give you about 1.5 in lift
