So I purchased some leaf sliders. My jeep had a 4.5" rubicon express lift installed when I bought it. So the rear is setup with a 3.5" leaf pack with a 1" shackle, Im going to lose that 1" when I put my sliders on. My question is, is there any other way to combat this other than new leaf packs or blocks?? Can I get an add a leaf to make my 3.5" packs a 4.5"?? I've sunk alot of money into this thing with long arms, shocks and rims. Id like to keep my current packs if at all possible.

 

What are leaf sliders?

pretty much eliminate the shackle all together.

 

Yeah you could just add a leaf (or several) to the pack. I made bastard packs out of s10 springs and they've been great.

 

After sinking that much into your XJ I would hate to go the last mile Half-Azzed on a nice rig. I would pop for a new leaf pack like a set from Rustys excellent quality and made in NA.

 

I'm thinking your right. The sliders have been redesigned for some up and down adjustment. I'm gona play with this before I drop any money on a new set of springs. Do you have any experience with rusty's springs?

 

Yes I do they are top notch and made in NA I have been running mine for going on 4 yrs now and still zero sag. I do keep a lot of gear in the cargo area all the time and a heavy swing out tire carrier bumper.
