Ever get leafs redone at spring shop??

Trying to look at options for doing a small lift on my 93 XJ. Wondering if anyone has any experience with bringing their rig into a spring shop. can they bend up some new leafs to add to the pack? or reshape my current sagging ones? How much does something like this usually cost.
I want to get about 2 inches of lift, but dont like the sounds of crappy ride quailty on aal, shackles or blocks dont seem like a great idea either.

thanks for any thoughts

Lifting a 93 XJ

I have 92 XJ that has a 4.5" Rough Contry lift on it. I love it. I toyed around with the idea of doing an add a leaf but thought better of it. They don't last as long and the ride is not as good. As for re-arching your current springs; I know of only a couple of people that have ever done that. One was to lift the vehicle and the other was to just re-gain the old stance that the vehicle used to have. Neither one really lasted or performed like the spring pack of a new lift kit.
I highly recommend contacting Jeff Green at Rough Country and picking his brain.

Rough Country = creamy liquid poo

My old man tried to re-arch a set on his old Chevy, worked great for a while but it didn't take long for them to sack out again.

search bastard leaf pack. Get a decent quality flexi bolt in leaf pack as described in the thread, he used a s10 pack.

I would go with the s10 leaf packs over re arching for sure. AAL might be ok for a DD that has sagged not so great for a wheeler, and the re arching eventually fails jsut like the original arching did.

I rearched my springs on a CJ-5 I had years ago. Did that and added air shocks, worked for me.

I rearched springs on my former suburban, lasted about 2 years. Then I replace dthem with new from Bett's Spring, worked great until I sold it five years later. Looking back, I should have just replaced them the 1st time.

Years ago rearcing springs was the way to go, now springs are much less expensive to replace, just don't replace them with the cheapest out there. There are reasons they are the cheapest.....
