Does anyone know how much longer an MJ rear leaf is than an XJ rear leaf.
Check here for your specific vehicle:Does anyone know how much longer an MJ rear leaf is than an XJ rear leaf.
MJ leafs give about a 3-4" lift when used for SOA right? I'm thinking about using MJ leafs on my XJ with these shackle boxes reverse mounted and keeping my current shackles. Any thoughts?
Thats what my plan was. Just havent found an MJ leaf pack yet.
But another thing I was concerned about is the distance from the front leaf bushing to the center pin. I guess a Dodge van(dont remember the year) has the same distance between the front leaf bushing and center pin, but is 2 or so inches longer in the back.
yeah I'm a little worried about that too! Diff in the gas tank isn't a great idea.

I have MJ springs on my XJ, and here is what I found. It moved my rear axle back 3 inches and a 3 or 3.5 inch MJ spring with a 1.5 lift shackle and shackle relocators will give you 8 inches of lift. Here is a picture of my rig with the old shackles on it.
Shackle relocators by H.D. Offroad (BTW these things are bad a$$) Gave me about 1 inch of lift
looks great, great flex, and I really like those pit bulls. how does it ride on the highway? I want to do similar to mine.
