so by that size you mean a 5 inch shackle to raise my rear end 2.5 inches?

 

has any body ever used cj style jeep leafs on a xj in the rear to achive lift

 

pep boys sell long shackles that would help ,i run 2.5 inch blocks with no probs im old school also dont have a prob with using blocks

 

so i bought my jeep and was told it had a 4.5" lift, but with a broken leaf spring, i ordered 4.5" leafs that made me realize the front end is not legit, bout 3 inch difference, it has procomp lower control arms and no spacer, will i be ok to buy 4.5" springs or will i need to get a adjustable track bar, extended swaybar links, or can i get drop shackles for the control arms..i guess my biggest concern is the geometry of the steering and whether the front driveshaft will be compensated, any thoughts or am i better off getting 2 inch spring spacers and just sandbagging the rear to make it level.
any thoughts would be much appreciated.
thanks

 

I want to get a 4.5" lift, just wondering, should I swap out my axles or are the D30 Low-Pinion and D35C good enough? I only do mild offroading, plan to run 32" tires... any help is appreciated.

 

the LP D30 will probably hold up just fine but the D35C I wouldn't trust beyond 31s

 

Can someone recommend me some decent 2.5" or 3" rear leafs por favor? All I have found for full packs is Skyjacker and Procomp, and from what I remember of my K5 days everything everyone had to say about those two was that choosing between Skyjacker and Procomp is like choosing between eating horse **** or cow ****.

 

Rough country , rubicon express

 

Meh, Rough Country aren't going to be any better than Skyjacker or Procomp

How much money do you have to spend? That is the key question that needs to be asked.

 

Looking to lift my xj to put 33's on it, stock axles. Was thinking about getting this Rubicon Express Lift:

I'm confused as to what your question is.

 

So im thinking about doing a 6.5 long arm rusty off road lift on my xj with 35's. Wanting to make it a rock crawler what do you guys think?

 

I think that 6.5" of lift is too much for 35s if you plan on crawling it, I'd aim more for the 5" range if you can.

Personally my goal is ~4" of lift and 37s on full-widths but I have no problem hacking up my unibody to do so.

 

Pro Comp makes some pretty good stuff, or used to. Back when I had my 94 I bought a 3" add-a-leaf. It came with the add-a-leaf, blocks, front 3" coils, drop pitman arm, tc drop, and lower control arms. Guess how much I paid for it? $200.

 

An Add-a-leaf is pretty much the ****tiest way to lift a vehicle that has leaf springs with the exception of massive blocks.

Combine both blocks and an AAL in a lift and you're batting 1k for doing it wrong.

IMO the best leaf springs on the market without getting deavers are old man EMU or rock crawler.
