Ok since i'm new i will start with some background. I ran an 87 XJ on 6.5 in of lift , 1.75 lift shackles in the rear and 36in swampers with creative trimming. I would like to replace my rear leafsprings due to axle wrap bending and twisting them.
So now it the question "How big is too big?" . I would want some more clearance for the 36's but at the same time not having to use a step ladder to get into it. I was looking at doing a set of big offroad 8in rear leaf packs(total lift 9 to 9.5in plus the lift shackles) and an acos to level out the front. The only problem is would that be to big to use on trails, should i just stick with the 6.5 lift and just beef up the bumpstops.[/b]
