blocks or full leafs?
right now i believe i have what looks like 4 inch blocks in the rear of my xj, i was debating about going to full 8 inch leafs but wasnt sure if it was worth it.
along with the blocks i think i have either 4 inch leafs or 2 inch leafs with a 2 inch shackle.

get the 8' leafs, blocks arent too safe especially if you plan on wheelin' it

Lift blocks are fine on the road... Most of the time off the road unless your a serious wheeler... Look at all the f150 and silverado lifts... They all have blocks... Never a problem... They do cause axle wrap but not normally enough to hurt much... just wear out your oem springs quicker...

blocks do not belong on an xj at all in my opinion. even a pavement pounder.

Ive never seen a real 8in block anyways... Lol... Thats way to much... And ive seen jeeps, s10's, rangers, yotas... All with blocks and go for years... Blocks do suck... There are way better options however I think all the real offroaders have talked so much hate about them that everyone thinks they wont do the job... But in most cases they will do fine...
