I have a 98 xj with 5" of lift. I re-arched my rear springs but it made them too short and I had to stretch them to hook them back up. I was wondering if anyone knew of a set of springs off of another vehicle that are a few inches longer that I could re-arche?

you should check the junk yard upgrade thread. most people just do the "bastard pack" using the main leaf of an s10 or other pickup to make the stock spring stay arched underload
