Would like to hear from anybody who has run these on their XJ and what they thought of them, how much actual lift they provided, and if it lasted??
Thanks,
Fast

I had those softride springs. Three leaf with overload leaf.
Wayyyy to soft. Lots of body roll, blew through suspension travel too easy. Ditched them for seven leaf BDS.

OOOOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKKayyyy .... !!!!

like apples and oranges, huh?? I'll bet.

Well,
I thank you for that, but I'm going to wait for more feedback on this subject because I am not building a 'rock crawler' or 'river swimmer' or 'jump tall buildings in a single leap' kinda Jeep. I'm using mu XJ to deliver the U.S. Mail and want to beef up the suspension with a smoooth riding, but capable upgrade over the factory Up-Country on there now.

More people who installed these springs please???

Thanks,
fast

Yea, I like to jump it a bit and run whoops at speed. lol
But it was also my daily driver. I would say they rode good and held up very well to abuse.
The set I had were 3.5" lift.

That would be the Superlift 3.5" lift plus extended shackles. Total lift is 4.5"
Lift springs work best coupled with extended shackles.

Steve, you call them the "Superlift 3.5's" but the 01-522 is advertised as 2.5" ???

Anybody have pictures of an XJ with the 01-522 only in the rear?
