I need to set my XJ up to pull a trailer. When I originally lifted it I didn't need to pull/haul anything, it was just a close-to-home wheeler. Now I'm DD'ing it ~6hrs a week and it's having to pull some truck duty around the house since we don't have a pickup. However, because the rear springs are a main leaf with two S-10 leaves under it with a 1.5" shackle it WILL NOT carry any amount of weight.
Over the summer our nieces came down to visit and with all our camping gear in the back it constantly hit the bump stops. Also we rented a wood chipper and just the tongue weight of that mashed it down on the axle.
So, what I'm wanting to do is get some heavier load leaves for the rear. It's ~4" in the front and obviously sagging in the rear quite bad. Would the OME 2" heavy load leaves be what I need? If it gets me a little more than 3" total in the rear with that and the shackle I could add a spacer to the front. But I've read that the OME stuff has suffered a quality set back. What do you guys think?
