leaf spring question

okay well i got off the phone with rustys askin advice on how to net 5" of lift with my 2" coil spacers/shackles and he told me

3" coil springs
3" rear leaf spring
lower control arms
new track bar
t-case drop or sye

thing is, i know most of those parts i gotta buy brand new, but the leaf springs i think i can get around. what kind of vehicle carries leaf springs that would bolt up that might lift me 3" in the rear? i can take a longer leaf then stock because my extended shackle so i think thatd help out ,thanks for ur advice in advance

You need to trim the ends (eyes) off anyway, just measure them and cut...taking the main and the secondary shound net around 3" depending on the state of the leaves.

Yes, do that but use XJ leafs. From what I've been told they are softer and more flexy. I'm running a XJ bastard pack with a main, and top two leafs for around 4" of lift. You could net more by adding some of the shorter less flexible leafs in th epack.
