okay i was wondering what i should do, the rear leafs in my 95 cherokee are sagging pretty bad..theres a place right by me that can re-arch them and then add-a-leaf to fix it for $180 or i could get new rear leafs off JC whittney for $99 a piece...what do you would be my best bet??

 

new leafs are always better then re-arched leafs...What brand are these off JC Whitney?

 

Do 2 inch shackles raise the back 2 inches or is that cut in half because you are only applying to one side? Or do they come as 4 inches long and then do 2 inches of lift. Wondering....

 

okay i have no idea what brand they are, i think im just going to get them re-arched cuz i can afford new ones...it will fix them from sagging though wont it?

 

not bad for f150 springs and the ride is'nt as bad as you would think but i had to get a new drive shaft made. what size tires should i put in it has 31s right now

 

I would go with some 33's man

 

I would also go with some 33" tires top match with the lifts on your vehicle...
It will look totally reborn after installing a set of new tires...

 

Now I've decided to run a Rusty's 3 inch lift and they come one of two ways...New leafs?....or Add a leafs? I was leaning towards add a leaf...but does an add a leaf prevent flex on the rear axle?

 

add a leaf you use your old saging springs and dotn get max lift

new springs will get you the higher lift

 

If you're gonna spend the $ anyway, go for new leaf packs. I have aal's and when I added 1 3/4" shackles for a little more lift, it just flattened the packs. Check out Stillwater Outfitter XJ's profile. He has the same lift I do but with shackles and new leaf packs in back with coil spacers up front, it looks sicker and makes a difference in clearance.

 

Not sure if it prevents flex....but i will agree with xer0 that it will give you a bigger lift....and if you have the extra money for the new set....go for the set man....definitely the way to go!!!!!!

 

AAL's will sag quicker also. Go with the full pack its gonna be better in the long run.

 

Ok so i finally got some money to spend on my XJ. As of now im trying to figure out what lift i should get. I have around 800 bucks max to spend on a lift. Im looking to get a 4.5" lift and i was looking at getting the rough country lift. But i ran into a little problem. I noticed that there is 2 different packages and i dont know which ones better. Theres one for $459.95 with add-a-leafs or one with rear springs for $655.95. Which ones better? Im going to be daily driving my jeep if that makes a difference at all. But if you guys could help me to steer in the right direction that would be great.


Thanks!

 

Have you thought of keeping it stock for now and just buying bumpers and recovery gear first ? just my $0.02 But Rubicon express is great buy but pricy.

 

655 full leaf packs are better, less likely to sag.
