Ok I'm new here. Nice to meet all of you xj enthusiasts! I own a 2001 xj. Bone stock. Before I ask about best and most bang for my buck. Here's the deal. My rear springs are bent the wrong way. Lol. My jeep is Sagging real bad and when I hit dips in the road my tires rub in wheel wells. Guess Sagging is par for stock xj world.. my question is what's the best route to take. Not opposed to just keeping it stock for now as im working about 90 hours a week this summer so winter I will be upgrading and building. Also I should add I purchased new rear shocks rancho for up to 2 in lift which will be installed when I do new springs. Any and all help would be appreciated.

 

If they're that bad, you need new leaf packs. Don't do AAL or "spring helpers". If you're gonna stay stock, just find set of stock replacements.

 

If it's rubbing with the stock setup, you probably need new bump stops also. There's probably nothing left of them. You can order stock springs from Rock Auto and various other places.

 

Lift it

 

Like said just your standard oem replacement springs is what you need,If you want to lift it then i would skip them and go for a lift.

 

Get new leafs now and install with the stock shocks.

When you have the funds to install the 2" lift and its probably gonna be a budget lift with front spring spacers and longer shackles only, replace the shocks with the Rancho's at the same time.
No brainer.
