chevy 63" leafs springs ?
just got a set of 63" chevy 2wd leaf springs was wondering if anyone is running these or knows somebody that's running these, and has pics of the build trying to get ideas for doing my rear set up for these

every once in awhile people will ask about these and it seems like they never really measured their stock leafs or took any steps to see if they would fit or not
63's are like the blue whale of leaf springs. if you even held them up next to your jeep you would see that you are going to have to move your front leaf hanger forward and still probably have the rear shackles mounted off the bumper. I like chevy springs, I run 56's. but it was quite a bit of fabrication to install them. so bust out your grinder and welder!
you'll probably want a traction bar. XJ's are light, but I've seen quite a handful of clapped out 63's that were used on 1 tons rigs.

My brother runs them in the rear of his one ton blazer
but seriously, what atmos said.
If I was gonna go through all that trouble to run longer leaf springs I would rather just link the rear
