can anyone get me the length measurement off of the leaf springs? i have stock xj springs now, and and trying to fix my shackle angle and get a slight little lift on the front of my s10. Thanks in advanced!!

 

This chart might help, otherwise I could go take a measurement.

 

I think that the XJ springs are 52" with 23" pin location.
Dakota springs are 56" and 24" pin location. Gives 1" stretch and requires RC shackle relocation boxes to use on XJ.

 

i was looking for lift spring lengths i guess, thats how i came up using the xj springs with the chart. with lift spring the overall length will be 52(51.5) but with once you measure straight across and not follow the arch it will be less like 50inches or so, right now you can kinda see the front springs are flat you cant see my shackle at all for how much of an angle its at. so i was trying to see what 3.5 lift spring length is compared to a 4.5 or so? if that makes since at all? and i have them on the front of my blazer not the rear to clear that up too.

 

no one has 3.5 -4.5 in leaf packs?

 

I have 3.5" BDS 7-leafs. I guess it is a ride-height measurement you are after, eye to eye?

 

yes ride height is what im looking for please

 

51.25" eye-to-eye at ride height with almost vertical shackle angle. Can reference previous picture for shackle angle.

 

ok sweet thanks!
