So with the new build, im trying to figure out what leafs to run. Im already have my 1" T&T UBE kit, HD offroad shackle relocation kit, and a 1.5" shackle. Im shooting for 5.5" to 6" lift. Thats close to 3" already with just that set up.

Im looking to stretch it a little to, 3 inch max (dont want to relocate the gas tank) So im looking into junkyard leafs.

Explorer leafs with give me about a 3" stretch

S10/blazer about a 2"

Im just not sure which leafs will net me around 3"

Whats yours guys input
 
Heres the chart im looking at anyways

Stock cherokee leafs measure 51.5" long
23" to the center pin

Stock blazer/ZR2 leafs measure 54" long
25" 1/3 to center pin ( roughly a 2" stretch)

Ford explore leafs measure 57" long
25.5" to center pin ( Roughly a 2.5" stretch, but the leafs are also 5.5" longer then stock)
 
I would use the s10 main leaf and just build a bastard pack with xj and s10 leafs to figure out where you need/want to be
