Want more axel droop, Flex....
Will these options I get more droop out of my XJ? (see pics) I am UnEmployed right now so cash is problem. I have parts on hand to do a couple things, will they work? This is temporary. When I get a job I will be doing 3.5-4.5 lift, using new springs and arms, drop brackets.
Current 3.5" JY lift. very stiff 3.5" fr springs (red), very stiff 3.5" rr b-pack+1.5" shackle.. 30" BFG, sway gone rear, connected front.
Options:
1. Put Stock shackle back on and run a 2" Block...
2. Remove some of the added leafs in the B-pack and run the block...

lol x2. Disco the front swaybar and flex will increase. If your springs are stiff, you can probably just remove it all together. I've been running mine like this since I got it with no problems.

after market trackbar, lower control arms, extend brake lines, longer shocks, and disconnect front sway bar will all help to improve flex. going with bigger springs probably will not help and removing some leafs might improve but also will result with some sag... my opinion, stickwith the basics and no blocks

Please read my first post. Wanting ti get increased flex, WITHOUT spending any money. Mainly want to increase flex in Rear end. I know block can exagerate warp/ But I want to know is, if I putthem in and use either less leafs in the B-pack or go back to the stock shackle would I get more axel droop.

re phase question. rear end only.Parts on hand ONLY
Forget about the front I can disconnect the swaybay and get all the flex i need. question is about the Rear and using parts on hand. Will softer leaf pack and a block droop more than the B-pack as is? Will the block used with the stock shackle allow the axel to droop more? Shocks are not limiting as they Are for 4-6" lift. Brake line might be holding it back but I can extend them.

you want more droop? get revolver shackles..
you want more flex out of a leaf spring? good luck..
thats crazy. you re flexing on a hill, find a decent rock or something and then complain about flexing!
stiff ride.. are running stock springs with bb?
i got 3" bb up front and block + Teraflex 1.5" shackle.. it rides like a caddy!
Skyjacker shocks.
Can be anything.. drive shaft binding? brake lines too short? shocks too short? you dont even have room to stuff your wimpy 30" tires..

Thats why I posted the question. I bought this rig in December with the following lift. Front 3.5" spring (red I thing skyjackers) and a 2" spacer, rear is B-Pack (no idea the donor), 2"block and 1.5" shackles. I removed the blocks and front spacers. I plan to do a proper lift of 4-6" when I get a job.
