Chevy 63" spring question

I have been looking into ways for getting more travel out of the rear on a new build. I was wondering about chevy 63" leafs, I know someone on here threw some under their pile. I would like to stay with leafs, any suggestions or ideas?
 
57" MJ leafs are a lot more common mod. 63 is pretty long to fit under an XJ.

We run an F150 leaf on the Team Naxja car, and the rear shackle is mounted to the rear bumper (also a 57" leaf). I can't imagine fitting a 63.
 
I did the dodge van b250 leaf spring swap plus chevy 1/2 ton shackles. Like all junk yard mods it requires a bit of creativity because the front eye on the main leaf uses a larger bolt but after coming up with a solution in return you get a longer leaf spring that doesn't move your rear axle location.

I could probably travel more than my front axle if I had shackle re locators.
