Not too bad for a 6.5 springpack!
 
flatter leaves= more flex

try some 3.5" or 4.5" leaves with an extended shackle. or lower your jeep a little.

Are you joking? There seems to be ZERO flex in the rear leafs on that thing.

Thats what I was thinking! lol

I have a 4.5" RC lift with full Skyjacker packs in the rear and the flex seems very minimal for some reason? (stock shackles/no rear swaybar)

full Skyjacker packs: problem #1

stock shackles: problem #2
 
Alcan FTW

Didn't get any good shots of the other side of the rear, but it's stuffed.

Those are Alcans that sit with 5" of lift with 300#s in the back, and a 1" or 1.5" shackle. Oh, and in this pic, I don't have 300# in the back...

Built these myself, XJ main leaf, S-10 blazer leaf pack with overload removed. Gave me about 4.5" of lift, cleared 33's with no problem. Flexed better that RE.

Whats wrong with SJ?
What would you suggest I replace my setup with?
 
SJ Springs flex fine, this is a 3" SJ pack with 1 YJ leaf added in each and MJ shackles

The front has Rusty's 3" coils, don't seem to be the greatest but they do flex
 
+1 for the deavers. I use them with Brianho13 shackle boxes for a little more lift. The ride is excellent.


This is full droop. The tires will tuck up about 1" from the fender in the rear.
