what size leaf springs should i get
someone put a lift on my 93 xj before i owned it, i measured to see how much lift i have and it looks like 4 inches. i need to replace the leaf springs and im not sure what size springs i should get. i know some kits advertise less lift than the kit actually gives you so im not sure what springs to get, any help

I've heard from a few people the Rubicon Express 3.5" springs run an actual 4.5" lift. Or you could go with 3" springs and 1" shackles, which should give you a better ride and more flex. Given i take it your still running stock shackles?

the shackles arent stock. they are either one or two inch shackles not sure at the moment. my spings look almost flat so i figured get rid of the shackle and go with taller springs and shorter shackles.

They're in my build thread, post 137- https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/my...01081/index10/
Or, a great vendor here sells some. They're not quite like mine but a lot of people use them and like them.

I think with a little fender trimming I can fit 32 / 11.50 tires I wanna go with that size because my last xj had that size with a 4 inch lift and it did great any thoughts
