Ok, my rear springs are officially pooched for my standards, it's not even worth it to have the mains re arched for the bastard pack I am planning to do...
So I am going to go ahead and order the Qaudratec Heavy Duty XJ leaf packs, bastardize them with Dak springs and install them.
Ok now my question: Is it a really BAD idea to cut the main leaf of the Dak pack pretty much flush with the eyes of the XJ main? Will I be getting spring binding? I see in a lot of pics the Dak or s10 main is usually 2" shorter then the XJ main (1" at the eye) and was looking at a buddies XJ with a bastard lift and his packs are already starting to wrap right after the eye because there is a lot of load going on the spring.
So is it ok to leave the cut main leaf a little bit long? Or perhaps make it like a half assed Military wrapped spring? So say a little bit of the "eye" from the dak main remained and wrapped the XJ leaf. Would there be any benefits to this or severe consequences? If it rode a little rougher that wouldn't be a terrible thing...
