So I need some cheap unsaggy leaf springs. You guys know where I can get some. Or if I get leafs from a Cherokee from a salvage yard do you think they will be as saggy

My block in the back had a stress crack in it when I finally decided to put new leaf packs on it. It could have gotten bad ifi didn't replace it. It will also make your axle wrap horrible and rattle a lot. I'd just save up and get new leaf packs or shackles.

Go to a junk yard get son rear leafs from either a S-10 or Dakota. The do research on building a bastard pack. Used leafs will be pre sagged, so that worry is gone. With the B-pack you will be able to do from 1" to 4" of lift depending on the leaf combination used.

If u really want block or shackles I'd go to rockyroadoutfitters.com they have solid steel blocks not the hollow aluminum (or whatevermit is) ones every one else sells. I got both shackle and block set up on my rear and my leaf springs are completely flat. But if I could do it again I woulda saved up for full coil springs (hot 3" pucks there too) and full leaf packs.
