there is a first for everything...
do they have more arch unweighted than the XJ springs?
if they do, then they will add lift - dont know how much till vehicle sits on them...
try it and post pics!

I thought CJ leaves were 2" wide? Wrangler leaves are 2.5" wide.

I put a set of 4" lift CJ springs on my brothers sagging 89. I used the XJ main leaf and removed the CJ main and bolted the remaining CJ springs to the XJ main leaf. It gave him 4" of lift. He pulls a trailer so I put in an AAL and it was real stiff but good for him. HTH Doug
I forgot to add I used the Rear CJ springs
