My king of all bastard packs (something like 3 XJ mains and 2 secondaries) are pretty much shot, so I need to replace them.
The front has Rubicon Express RM60010/RE1310 4.5" coils. The rear lift has a HD Offroad shackle relocation bracket and shackles that measure 5" eye to eye. I am guessing that these give me about 3.5" of lift (2.5" + 1") and the aforementioned bastard packs give me about 1" because the Jeep is level. The shocks are ProComp ES3000s, which seem to work fine up front.
Here is a pic measuring from the stock shackle bolt to the shackle eye on the spring. Do you think my estimate is about right? What options would provide the best ride quality at 4.5" to 5"?
