Default add a leaf question

Hey guys, I just have a quick question, i was thinking about getting new leaf packs for my jeep since it is starting to sag a little but in a few years i was planning on buying a whole 6.5 inch long arm kit for it and was wondering can i add another add a leaf to it even though it is already lifted about 3.5 inches??? it wouldnt hurt anything right? The person who had my jeep before added like 2 peices of flat steel to each side of the leaf to give it another 3 inches of lift but i dont really think it even really has a lift in the back it might have the trailer package or something because it has 5 leafs in the rear?

Look at your long *** shackles! Thats whats giving you the lift. You need new leaf packs to get rid of your flat ones.

You need to do something immediately to fix those shackles. They are some homebrew junk. Go order a pair of Rubicon Express 3.5" leaves and use a stock shackle or order a set of 4.5" leaves and run an extended shackle for your 6.5" lift... Either way, get rid of those leaf packs and shackles.

Also, post more pictures of them.
