So i have an 88 MJ, with stock leaf packs, a 2'' shackle, and a SOA conversion. That gets me about 5'' of lift.

Now, i just got a set of stock XJ leaf packs given to me by a friend. How much lift do you guys think i will get if i integrate the stock XJ leaf packs into my MJ leafs? The stock XJ ones are pretty flat.

Whats the more lift for?

Going to add to the front too? Im guessing around 2" with a main and second leaf added. Remember, the XJ leafs are shorter than the MJ ones, so placing them in the right place in the pack is needed.

Nope, stock springs in the front and high as hell in the back.:gee:

I'm gonna look at getting some 6.5'' springs and maybe running a 2'' spacer.

I think the MJ springs have more arch than the XJ springs. If that is true the XJ springs added tothe MJ one may reduce the amount of lift.

I will like to hear from someone who have done it.

Because the mj packs are arched, i would try explorer,mj,S10,dakota or some other spring under leaf pack.

it would probably make the spring pack stiff as hell, too... why do you want more height?
