Anything else cheap I should look for??

 

Get a 29 spline 8.25. Bolt in and go.

 

What about some rear leafs? My old ones are completely straight. Can I get a set off another vehicle for cheap or will it raise the rear and look stupid?

 

Get the springs off of what you get the rear end out of.

 

If they have arch... In my experience, having flat, unbroken leaf packs in an XJ puts you higher than most of the stockers out there.

 

My original leafs were almost flat, a small amount of arch. Bought new HD leafs and they are exactly the same arch. You could ad a leaf from a s10 or another vehicle with 2.5in wide leafs to get an inch or two.

 

The ones on my XJ were dead. 3 of 8 were missing sections of 4" or more, and it sat on the bumpstops on level ground.

 

Sounds like you should stop dating fatties.

Well should have, you already killed your xj

 

Was like that when I bought it
The dealership was using it as their winter vehicle, and it had 750lbs of bricks in the back for two years straight.

 

Suuuuuure

 

Hahaha. It took me a while to figure out why my jeep leaned hard to the left and there was a indent in my driver seat when I bought it.

 

quick question, what happens when you have lifted leaf packs (3") and you put an add a leaf (4") under it? do you get 4" of lift or more? I was just wondering...

 

Naw you won't get 4 more inches out of it... If its a full leaf pack then you might get a lil more lift out of it but nothing really substantial

 

what im asking is, if you put a 4" add a leaf under a 3" lift pack will it get you to 4"?

 

Depends on the actual leaves I think. A stock height leaf spring and lifted leaf spring are the same length. The difference is in the arch. Arched spring + turboarched AAL = not that huge of a difference. Maybe it'll make yours 4"?
