Bastard Pack Clarification

I found a PDF on "the other guys' site" in regards to a detailed bastard pack completion. I have a couple questions I need cleared up before I decide if I can/want to engage in this project.

I have a 95 Cherokee with what was described to me as a Rusty's 3" lift. I just put on 32s and the rears rub just a hair, trimming will follow. I noticed that the drivers side rear is approx 3/4" lower than the passenger side. Come to find out, I have a "sagging" spring like pictured below. (Picture credit to jomps)

Where the first spring ends on the main, I have a kink or a slight bend.
Can the S10 pack be stacked on this main without issue?

If I can continue as planned, what year is recommended for the donor packs? Does it matter? What about a ZR2 model?

(If anyone would like the PDF posted, I can sure do that pending mods dont mind, being that it came from "those guys")

Thanks in advance gentlemen!

It should be fine, just support it with another full main from the donor pack

it's not really that critical.... the ZR2 packs are a little taller, BUT most of the rear lift on the ZR2 is actually from having taller leaf spring mounts

I would love to see this PDF... thank you
