So i have been looking around and I haven't found a good answer to my many questions, only one case confirmed my idea which is not enough to start spending money,so i figured i would ask here.
jeep info; 99' 4dr xj 5 spd 3" lift
I want to stretch the rear anywhere from 1"-2" and not exceed 4"-4.5" of lift.
I found one guy who achieved around this by using a s10 main leaf. I am open to using any leaf spring that will meet my goal.
Currently I have extended boomerang shackles, ironman4x4 shackle relocation kit, and a variety of add a leafs laying around. with the relocation kit and shackles i don't think the longer leaf length of the s10 is going to be any issue.
my concerns are 4wd vs 2wd s10 leafs(if they are even different) and getting too much lift(because s10 is SUA). also i would need a longer driveshaft, i have a 5 spd so is the an auto one longer or shorter, should i find an mj shaft, cheap alternatives? Lastly should i be concerned of axle wrap with the little stretching i want to do?
thanks in advance.
