Rear leaf spring swap?
So my leaf springs are now on the downward bend and I wanna get a set probably from a junkyard so my question is should I get a set from another cherokee or can anyone tell me of any from other vehicles that I can swap them out for?

yup. go for the s-10 add a leaf.
never really done a back to stock height using an s-10 pack, but have gained a couple of inches using a couple of s-10 leafs. so if you were only to use say, the main leaf with eyelets cut off, and stuck that under your main leaf, then put your existing pack under that, you should get back to stock height. maybe a half inch or so above.
you may have to do a trial and error with other leafs if that main s-10 leaf gets you too much.
