My rear is lower then the front... need some suggested options
2" spacers up front, 2.25" shackles (autozone) in the rear. THe leafs are so worn that the rear is still 1.25" lower
I need some options, both long term and short. I know the leafs are sagged out, I was just going to get a 1.5" block for now until I have more money. Then what do I do? Ideally a fresh new OEM set of leafs is what I need, as my stock shackles were rusted and broke when removed. So I only have the lift shackles now and don't really want to go higher then 2-3" currently so Lifted leafs with my shackles will be too much. Please offer some ideas. thanks

Don't get blocks. If anything get another Cherokee leaf pack, cut the main eye off and add it to your pack. Should be able to do that pretty cheap, stock packs usually get tossed

Which leafs can I add to just get about 1.5", figure the main would be too much? Mine where a PITA to remove in the garage with a jack and air tools, I bet it sucks in the yard. There is a good one near by though with 10+ XJs

Walk around the yard a little and find a set where someone has already removed the rear bolts to get the axle. Half of the works done.

Or if nothing else, cruise through craigslist lookin for people parting out xj's. In my area theres always at least 5 stock xj's being parted. And sometimes theyre already torn apart aka no work for you lol.
Btw, how much lift would another stock xj main add? Thinkin about doin it to the jeep i just bought.
