Yj leafs to level out sagging aal?
 
Ok so I have a 3 inch add a leaf in the rear of my xj and it's starting to sag maybe an inch or more. I have stock yj leaves out in the shed, might even be from my dads racer (1979 cj-7) from the 80's I don't know, but either way could I add a leaf from them to my xj to help level out my lift or do I need to find some s-10 leafs?

any 2.5" leaf will work... some are just a better choice than others :cheers:

I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and try it, it can't hurt. If it doesn't do anything I will just go to the junkyard and get some s-10 leafs.

ericfx1984 is right any 2.5" spring will work but the yj springs work well like the s-10 cause the are originally spring under axle, so they are arched more. My springs are from a Isuzu Rodeo 2wd, but i built a bastard pack. I used every leaf of the Isuzu pack including the main i just cut the ends off and bolted them to my xj main leaf. I got 4" out of it! the Isuzu springs flex more and ride better than the s-10 bastard pack i built for a friend!!!!

i just added 2 leaves from a yj pack (main and 2nd longest) and got 2 inches of lift from it.
