rear leaf upgrade q's

I'm looking for some input on a rear leaf upgrade to improve my current situation. I'm running about 3" leafs with roughly a 3" block made with two blocks to gain my rear 6" of lift - no drop shackles. I know this is not the best setup and I'm looking to improve on it for more flex and a better ride - I routinely have tons of gear along, equivalent to 5 passengers worth in the cherokee on some outings. I believe superlift? makes a 6" leaf setup suitable for cherokee's, those with roughly 6" of lift straight from 6" leafs, what leafs are you using? Should I consider drop shackles and less leaf? Thanks for any suggestions/comments/input!
Pete.

you should consider getting rid of those blocks

personally i think stacking blocks is dangerous


get a good leaf pack or make your own, up to about 5inches of lift and then go with a shackle for the extra inch

The blocks are gone - as soon as I figure out a suitable replacement. I've read some posts on dodge dakota's as a possible leaf pack, with drop shackles and this pack does anyone know roughly if I can gain 6"?
Thanks for the input!

Go SOA in the back for the lift, you can use a 2.5-3" leaf pack SOA for 6" IIRC

go with a lead like the RE 4.5 or alcan 4" that should give ya around 5-6"... then add a longer shackle for another 1". you'll need that longer shackle with the taller leafs in order to obtain correct suspension movement w/less restriction and strain put on the leafs during articulation

you recall entirely wrong

MJ's are spring under, xj's are spring over,

Done. Will find a 4-5" leaf pack with 1" or 1.5" shackle. Thanks for the the help everyone!

BOR 6" leaf packs if ya routinely carry that much gear...

With an empty XJ they run about 7-8"
