anyone running a mj main leaf on back of there xj?
i am moving my axle back 3in on my cherokee. easiest way i can think of doing it is running a mj main leaf. there center pin is 3in further back than xjs. but total length is 5.25in longer than the xjs. i am running a 2in lift shackle with relocation boxes. i will take the boxes off and i think it will work with my shackle. i measured it will be tight but it all looked like it was within an inch.
anyone run this setup or a similar set up? pics? advice?

about a minute and a half more research and i could have answered my own question. think im guna run a 95-01 s10 complete rear pack. it will move me back 3in and is only 3in longer in total length instead of 5.25. spring rate is only 200lbs heaveier than the hd leaf springs for cherokee.
is anyone running these?

I feel like I have read somewhere that flipping an XJ pack stretches the wheelbase. Like running the rear eye in the front hanger and the front eye in the shackle.

that relocates axle 4.5in back and spring wrap becomes a real problem as xj springas are not very stiff. they fatigue quickly and to make it work you have to change out the bushings or cut them down.
that was my original plan but think it migh be easier just to find a different spring instead of adding anti wrap bars and messing with bushings
