Default Leaf spring question

I have a 2000 xj and the rear leafs are a little flat. Would it be worth it to use aal's, shackles or get a new leaf pack to get a couple more inches..it seems that the lift has been on it for a while and over time has sagged . Thanks ahead of time for the input.

Thanks..im pretty happy with it. I bought it how it sits so im doing little things here and there to it to make it better. Its a dd so I can't get too wild but eventually I want to throw a long arm kit on it with 35s.
