Better than destroying you vechicle because your to cheap to buy a bigger lift and gotta cut fender wells bigger . Use wood and jb weld to hold your xj together that just retarded .

I JB welded and duct taped two springs together. Then I filled my D35 with the rest of the JB cause I was too cheap to spring (lololol) for a locker.
Digger, you could try Standens Spring out of Alberta Canada, they manufactured my rear leafs, they make all kinds of springs for all kinds of applications. I got mine distributed thru Delta Spring, Breslau Ontario, a transport truck and trailer service depot. Come to think of it I didn't see the pros using any duct tape or JBweld.
Good luck, the truck is lookin tall.

Coil-overs or leafs would be your best bet. If thats a mudding rig, leafs. Rock rig, coil-overs.

It doesn't have to do with cheapness, some prefer the stability, some prefer the look, some prefer the safety.

I don't see how fender trimming= destroying either lol.

Certain people want there rides certain ways thats what this countrys all about freedom of choice . Down here sitting low to the ground dont get ya very far people that cant grasp that should not make remarks about the different setups required . As for saftey theres no level at which a vechicles perfect . Cutting just to me and alot of other destroys the factory look . And this aint no rock crawler its a DD/swamp ride with all the bells and whistles i ride in comfort .
