Default leaf pack help

Im having and issue with those darn leaf packs. I have a sagging problem and I would like to know of any good USED leafs I can pick up at a pick and pull or off Craigslist. They need to also be able to either add AAL or shackle increase because I will eventually lift my XJ. I have a 98 Cherokee Classic with a Chrysler 8.25 if that matters.

Get 2 packs and put them together how you want depending on how much lift you want.

Sorry bro, old leafs eventually sag. Adding good leafs to bad ones isn't going to last long either. You're gonna be needing new leaf packs eventually, may as well get it behind you.

Would heat treating and re-arching a pair off a GMC 3/4 do any good, I can't afford new leaf packs

I was able to use the leaf packs off an S10 from the pick n pull. I removed all the Cherokee leafs except for the main than cut the ends off the main from the S10 pack and bolted the whole S10 pack unter the cherokee main leaf. I had to eliminate the sway bar and buy a longer brake line ot make up for the new height. I also had to buy new shocks. This gave me 4" of lift.
