OK, searching the forums got me some results, but not any clear answers.
I would like to get 4.5 to 5 inches of lift in my rear end. The 3.5" add-a-leafs I used originally are shot, and the ride always sucked anyways.
I have heard repeatedly that you can use Dakota AND/OR Durango springs from the scrapyard to do this.
Two requests:
1) Which spring packs from which models and years are suitable for this?
2) I'm new to suspension work, so I need a description of how to build the new XJ packs from the Dodge ones.
(My XJ is a '96, with 4" coil spring lift w/ longer lower control arms in the front, 3.5"AAL and 1.25" blocks in the rear.)
