Are you looking for something that goes to the stock locations or more of a custom setup? Ten inches would be better done with a longer than stock leaf.

Re-read what i said....i never said anything about not needing them, just asked why you would need such a tall lift?
We will all be able to better base an opinion if we can figure out what your trying to accomplish first...

well i want to run a lot of lift so that i can clear 38" tires, i am running 38" tires because i want to get as much ground clearance under my d60, and yes i would like to keep it stock xj length because i dont feal like custom making any more shat on my heep, also, what is the biggest shackle anyones seen around.

really its not much trouble to fab new spring hangers and if you want any flex at all you'll want longer springs because with enough arch to provide as much lift as you're wanting at stock length the springs will be so stiff that they'll probably not flex much if any at all..
Unless you go really high dollar
like leaves from Deaver or National.. they can make leaves that are custom for any application, specific for vehicle weight and desired lift and travel..

With short springs that TALL you can almost guarantee its going to ride like a forklift and wont flex worth a crap. Id start by giving the two above comanies a call and see what they can do for you...it wont be cheap and they probably wont work all that well without going to a longer spring.
With something that tall, have you given any thought to coil over rears?? You could go with like an 8" coil over conversion and still have plenty of room to clear 38's and would be able to flex like crazy.
