Hello,I just bought my first xj,It's a 1991 lerado with 126,000 miles on it..Has power windows seats etc..Loaded model i guess..It's in nice shape no rust and good paint.However i do have some issues to deal with..The 4.0 is very strong and still holds 40 p.s.i oil pressure even when hot..But my rear main seal leaks bad,Like a quart every 500 miles..And when i stop at a stopsign all that oil getting on the exaust will smoke up the neigborhood..And my rear leaf springs are flatened out somewhat it's around 1-2 inches lower in the rear than the front..Valve cover is leaking like a siff as well..But man does she drive good..And it does not rattle anywhere when you hit rough places in the road..Very solid..4X4 is perfect as well..On to my question..JC whitney sells a cheap 2 inch lift with an add a leaf..Will i need to replace the worn leaf springs or will the add a leaf put some life back in them?..Thanks and this is one great website:loveu:
