Default Junk yard Leaf springs

I broke a leaf and I'm lookin for a set from junk yard that would be a good swapped. I want good articulation still Any direct bolt in upgrades? I have a shackle relocation kit and 4-5 inch shackles so I have a bit of wiggle room. I have about 4 inch lift. Suggestions?

Regardless of what you get out of a junk yard, you'll still need the main leaf from an XJ leaf pack. I am assuming that you are asking about building a bastard pack?

S10 leaf springs are about 2" longer than xj leafs. You could try a set with your shackle relocators, however i'm not making any guarantees. They Seem close to the same mounting point on the axle, however I really havent looked at it all that much. It could push your axle forward or pull it back, and could probably give you 2-5" of lift over stock height depending on the orientation of your extra long shackles.

I would just look for some used junkyard XJ leaves.
