bone yard lift?

[knip4x4]

theres gotta be leaf springs outta other compact trucks that would A:replace a broken XJ leaf spring
and B: give a lil lift

hoping someone can point me in the right direction......

dont think so.

but, you can use the stock XJ main leaf and create a "bastard pack" using leafs from a dodge dakota, Chevy S10, or similar

any of the 2 or 2.5 inch will fit (can't remember which and its dark) I found mine on the side of the road....... used my main then alternated. got about 4 inches out of it.

haha, mine too. this was the first chance ive gotten to use it and i took it! haha!



to the OP, ill try to be a little more helpful.
typically, the "bastard pack" is the most common cost effective way to add some lift to your leafs. there are a number of different ways and are plenty of write ups on alone. there are a number of different ways to do it, with various donor springs and combinations of mixing and matching. personally... im too lazy for that. but the process is very similar to the "add a leaf" process.

as far as a direct bolt in, i cant think of anything. youd have to find some sort of database of leaf spring measurements. that, i cannot provide. personally id take into account spring rate. ive heard tales of adding F-series springs to an XJ pack. that to me does NOT make sense... im sure you could find something close, but it would take a bit of work to get desirable shackle angles.







and welcome to . i would chose to be a paying member and persuade you to do so as well... there is a lot of good info here. but i chose to be a poor college student first. ha!
