Default bastard packs...leafs anyone?

Ok...I work at a Toyota dealership. Turning wrenches. Toyota has a recall on some truck frames. And the older tacoma truck gets the shocks and leafs replaced with new Toyota parts. So there are a some sets of leafs laying around. I havnt measured them. But it looks like they could work on my XJ. Now would anyone else be interested in these? We have many come through and all I have to do is snag them off the frames before the scrapping company comes in and takes it all. But if anyone's interested id be willing to take off a few sets and sell them. Cheap of course. But they are left on the frames....so I will need to take them off. Which could be a headache. If anyone is interested post on here or pm me. I have one set already. Someone make an offer..Idk how much these could be worth. But they would work well for a bastard pack.

Not sure on lift. I'm sure not a whole lot. Probably any where from 1 inch to 3. Maybe more. I don't think I want to ship. But I will think about it. Maybe I will.
$50 a pair work? I really don't know how much I could ask. All I now is they will be a pain to remove and haul toy place. And thy are in good shape usually. I won't sell junk ones

Did you zoom in? Sum it up XJ leafs are 2.5" wide and 94 and older toy leafs are 2-3/8 wide, idk if thats a problem, I assume not. 89-94 toy leafs are 1/2" shorter than XJ and older toy leafs are ~4-5" shorter.

I'm in greensburg pa. I don't know how much lift either. But I will he finding out soon. I have one set and ill put them on my XJ. I'm only looking to take my sag out. But I can put different combs in and lower the jeep down and snap some pics. Another mechanic has an XJ as well and has a set of the tacoma leafs. He plans on using them too. So ill see when he does his tom if he ever does. They shouldn't be a problem. I think they will lift it up a good bit if I use the right set up. But ill let you all know asap. Might not be for a few days. But I have one set if anyone can get them put on there's before me. Just so we know. But I'd like to keep them for mine just not sure when I can get to it. Hopefully this week. If not next week for sure. Probably be a Thursday night tho.
