Hi,
I currently have Old Man Emu springs on my XJ. Got shackles that lift 4 cm (about 1,5"). I have removed one leaf from each of the packs for better flex, height etc, it was too high and too stiff in the rear before. I flex my 31s nicely into the fenders now, and I'll continue to do so with the added 4 cm of lift. However, this means the leaves will bend more the wrong way...
I am positive I have read somewhere that leaves will break when treated like this. What is your judgement on this? Any hands-on experience? I can live with my leaves sagging and/or breaking earlier than normal, but not if they'll break right away...
Thanks :spin1:
