Hey, DesertFox1023, thanks for listing your combinations of XJ & S-10 leaf springs!
I am trying for a 2- 2.5" lift, because I want to keep costs down..(no SYE, etc), and my goal is to run 30x9.5x15's
My XJ leaf springs are FLAT.
I'm hoping that if I follow the leaf suggestions for 3" lift, the flatness of my XJ leaves will bring it back down a touch, closer to where I want it.
Does this sound reasonable?
I picked up a set of 1995 S-10 leaves that were taken off with only 17 miles on them for $25...SCORE!
I'm currently looking for cheap ZJ front coils...I collect parts one paycheck at a time.

it's all a guessing game really. The top leafs have more arch and thus more lift. The lower springs have less arch but can support more weight which means they'll keep the arch. You just have to try different combination's till you get your desired effect.
