Do I need new springs?
I'm new to this and bought a 99 xj.
I'm told it has a 6" ome lift on it. The back Springs squat a lot when even a little cargo is in the back. Wondering if I need new Springs pack or an add a leaf.
This pic is with no cargo at all

Pretty sure OME has never made a 6" lift. Looks like you have 3" blocks under a 3" spring, not sure it they're OME leafs tho. Loose the blocks , use extended shackles and relocation brackets to get the height you need.

Thank you for your reply. Would getting extended shackles do anything for the springs being soft. The compressor with very little weight. I was wondering if I just need new ones, and what height.
Thankso again!
