Trade 6.5" XJ Leafs - South Jersey
Kind of a strange offer here guys, that doesn't really fit in the For Sale section:
Looking to trade some brand new Clayton Offoad 6.5" springs for a decent brand 4.5", 5" or 5.5" leafs. Mine are Brand New, less than 50 miles on them, had them installed & drove the XJ home, that's it. But they are just way too high with my setup. They're not stiff, but I have shackle relocation brackets & 1" lift shackles. Someone speculated that my "heavy" XJ would cause them to settle at 5.5" where I really want to be, but I can tell that's not going to happen. I'm hoping to do an equal swap, BUT!!! (and it's a big "but")
... When I say "swap" I mean swap. We take these off, and we put yours on my XJ right there on the spot. Willing to drive to you & I will help with the installation. Or we can do it here.
Any takers? Pleeeeeease! PM me & let me know what you got.

If you were closer this would be a possibility.
my 4.5" have about 600 miles on them and 3 wheeling trips.

So ... no takers, huh?
Well anyone interested in buying them outright? I'm motivated, will sell for less than what I paid ... but shipping won't be your friend.

Most definitely. Ordinarily that wouldn't be a problem because I have ACOS, so I can adjust the front. But The XJ might be a bit too tippy for me with the wheels I have, the back spacing & my tire width.
15x8 / 3.75 / on 33.12.50 + roofrack + crawling rocks + off-camber = rollover. For me. Some others might be happy with them, but they're too tall for my liking.

When I picked up my 6.5" leafs there Adam said that they use the same spring and just remove a leaf for 4.5".
You might just be able to keep those and remove a leaf. Check with Clayton on which one to remove.

I've been down that road with Clayton. These leafs replace the crappy 4.5" that they sold me that were completely flat after 1 wheeling trip. My OME leafs that I ran for about 6 years had a better arch than Clayton 4.5 after one trip. And I have pics to prove it. No thanks.
