can anybody recommend some decent (and cheap) 2" lift rear leaf springs complete? I have done the shackles and add-a-leafs and I am still getting some pretty bad axle wrap. My wrench head neighbor has told me that's my problem, when under a load my axle turns throwing my pinion angle off. I am going thru rear u joints every three months or so.and suggestions?
thanks for you help

sorry about the hijack, I am looking for 2" of lift also.

Btommy

they look to be 2.5 inches wide but no lift, at least that I can see.

If you google the part number you will find that they are listed as a 2.5" lift.

first make sure all the nuts and bolts are tight. you shouldnt be getting axle wrap from that setup unless you have lift blocks that have been deformed. the PO of my jeep had lift blocks that deformed and i got axle wrap, i took them out and put on a lift shackle and no more axle wrap and still have the same lift amount. could you take some pics of it for us so maybe one of one here could see if its a easy fix or not?

Used them on an old XJ and they lift right around 2". Theyre stiff, but its a Jeep and they're cheap.

I do not have a camera or computer at home to put picks up.Sorry (plus i do not know how)
All the nuts and bolts are tight.
I installed a Rusty's 2" lift which was 2" spacers in the front and shackles in the rear along with shock spacers. I got bad vibes so i installed the t-case drop, still had miner vibes but lived with it for 6 months. vibes got worse and started going thru u-joints. My leaf springs were bent backwards at this point,so bought a 2.5 inch add-A-leaf and installed original shackles in the rear, all was great for about 6-7 months no vibes at all leaf springs looked great lift looked great, BUT along came slapping when I stopped and took off. Almost like it was running the slack out of something. So at this point I tried rear u-joint again and checked pinion angle (they were the same to each other t-case and rear axle). at this point slapping was gone and all was good.........for about 3 months, it seems like about every 3 months I go thru a rear u-joint and problem is gone.... for a while.
So last week I broke down and asked my neighbor for help, they are big into wheeling and have 4 link buggies and pull trucks and pretty much anything you can think of with big horse power and tall tires (really cool ****, its like monster garage up there) they crawled around under it with me going from forward to reverse and putting it under load. they said my rear axle was " wrapping" pretty bad and my rear leaf springs were shot.
said they had a similar problem on one of there trucks and replaced leaf springs and it fixed there problem.
At this point I just want it fixed and do not want to screw with it anymore until my kids a a little bit older.
thanks for listening to me ramble on and thanks for any suggestions.
