Rear leaf has blocks under them
ok so im looking at buying a new XJ and there are about 2.5-3 inch blocks between the leaf and the axle and the guy doesn't know anything about the lift it is how it was when he bought it and I am still new to the jeep world myself. my question is why would there be blocks under there and not added leafs? or am I stupid and thats how it should be?

Your right the blocks are bad to have they cause axle wrap. You can go with either an add a leaf or full leaf packs. Leaf packs are the best you can do add a leafs eventually sag.

A few buddies of mine have blocks and they don't mind as long as you don't drive like an idiot spring packs perform and usually ride better, check rustys or rough country if you're goin cheap, 4wd.com has a lot of brands too
