Mr X

i have sagging leaf springs on my 95... i plan on lifting it about 2 1/2 inches.. would i need new leaf springs or does the add-a-leaf work well and then add the lifting blocks?

I put an add a leaf onto barely sagging springs and they started sagging a whole lot more within a month. Not to say they are the problem, obviously they were getting weak, but I don't think once they start sagging add a leaf will do anything but buy you a little time.

everything ive ever read said aal's cause sagging... dont plan on finding out first hand either...

huntingman2706217

if you want to lift 2 1/2inches and there sagging then buy 3 1/2in full lift springs to get you where you want to be...

Not to thread jack but my rear leafs are pretty much flat. Any tips on where to get a new set of rear leafs for not too much money?

couldnt you make a bastard pack with some s-10 leaf springs to fix the flat springs and gain the lift?

When you say 'sagging spring' are they flat or are they bent the wrong way?

jy with one sitting no blocks...weight off wheels...

95DanXJ

What are you trying to say? Can you explain a little more? Thanks

huntingman2706217

he asked a cheap place to get stock springs that arnt sagging... get them at a JY from a cherokee thats sitting on blocks... if there on blocks on the body then the spring are fully extended and havent had weight on them... best bet that there not going to e sagging...

Ah, I see. Thanks for the explaintion.

I would build s10/dakota bastard packs. which means using the leafs out of the rear of one of those two vehicles and add some of the leafs into your stock xj leaf pack and you are suppose to gain like 4.5" of lift depending on how many leafs you actually add. On my XJ my leafs were sagging pretty bad so I add long add a leafs and made some longer shackles and I gained like 4" of lift and that was a few months ago and I haven't seen any sagging and I don't think that I will anytime soon. I seen in your earlier posts you said you were going to use blocks, stay far away from blocks all they do is cause problems in the long run. Blocks just cause axle wrap among other things. If you can afford new leafs buy lift leaf springs or build them.
