I'm having some troubles with the rear suspension on my XJ. It has a lift and the rear is setup with Rubicon Express 5.5" heavy duty leaf springs and Rocky Road 1.5" lift shackles. When unloaded it's fine but with a full cargo area the back end starts to sag. Throw in two people in the back seat and it's even worse. It's bad enough that the rear tires rub the fenders (which are cut as far as they can go) when the suspension compresses off-road.
It seems like Rubicon's HD springs aren't that heavy duty.
Does anyone have a suggestion for solving this? I could use some lift blocks but I'm concerned about axle wrap. I was also thinking of a load helper spring that only comes into contact when the suspension is compressed but that will probably mess with the flexibility and also might be hard to find for leafs with this much arch.
Thanks in advance!
