Saggy Rear Leafs
My rear leafs are sagging like no other... The rear end is a couple inches lower than the front end of my XJ and I was wondering if there is a way to fix this? I've also considered taking a trip up to the salvage yard and seeing if I could swap leafs from another vehicle... What would fit? It would be cool to get a little lift with swapped rear leafs too so all I gotta do is find coils to level it out and I'll have a budget boost.... So what do you guys recommend I go about doing?

My XJ was doing the same thing, so I bought this lift.
It worked well, but in hindsight I think I would have went for a set of used leaf springs.
This kit comes with 4 new shocks so its not a bad deal for everything it includes. Its also pretty easy to install, IF you dont shear off your upper or lower shock bolts.

http://www.xjjeeps.com/tech_referenc...section=2&ID=0 This site has Jeep-Mopar OEM parts catalogs, in PDF. Down load your year (for future references). You can look up the parts numbers. And call your local jeep dealer for the prices. Leaf springs where offered in three different rates, Std. w/ 4 1/2" arch, Heavy duty w/ 5 1/2" arch, Up country (or off-road) w/ 6 1/2" arch. It's about a 2" lift, offered in up-country pkg. Last time I checked they about $98 apiece for leafs. I would order two new leafs springs.
