A MJ lift spring may give you 10, I thought someone suggested a stock MJ spring. My bad on that misunderstanding.

You will also stretch the wheel base, iirc.

you need a custom built pack. it wont be cheap. or get some 6.5s with relocation brackets and shackles.im sure youre just building this for mud

Why not link the rear and use coils?

Better flex and better ride.

If you get the kit from I think iron rock( I've seen it don't remember brand) then it comes with coil mount plates for the unibody and and axle. Or get plates from a tj and get long arms and home brew.

i used a Rustys 6.5" spring and added another leaf. so 7.5" + 2" shackles and shackle relocation adds another 1" or so.
