Before everyone yells no, hear me out. I know everyone says blocks are bad, but I remember reading somewhere that 1" were not really an issue.
I have a 97 4dr XJ, with a 4 year old 3.5 RE lift with FULL springs, no AAL. When new, it sat a little high in the back.... which I like. I carry LOTS of tools, have rock sliders, 3 roll out shelves with slide out table, 2 fire extinguishers, 1 CO2 tank, a roof rack with my tire and hi-lift are on the roof.... shortly after putting lift on, it started to sag a bit in the rear, so I added longer shackels, looked great again.
Now I over built a gas tank skid out of 3/16 and 1/4 and it wieghs 80lbs, with the hitch, its over 120lbs. Anyway, the XJ is just below level, and I think about 1" would get me back where I want. I know I should just buy some 4.5 springs, but for now, what would be the problem with blocks? Do they make them with degree shims built in? Someday I may have to buy the 4.5's.
Where should I get some blocks?
Sorry for the ramblings and all the questions. Please don't reply if your just gonna yell NO with no reasoning. Thanks.
