Automan2164 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 They seem pretty short... Might be good as a overload spring... Rob L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 http://fresno.craigslist.org/pts/1382197684.htmlI don't have a lift but will they help or hinder? Help or hinder what? They are short add-a-leaves that lift an XJ 3 inches. In an MJ they'll probably lift about 1-1/2" and make the ride very stiff. Is that a help or a hindrance? What are you hoping to accomplish? Do you want lift, more load capacity, or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xj_dummy Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 Well my rear is saging because of the heavy shell on it so I would like to get it up higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I thought I saw that hellcreek was making a full length AAL for MJs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWLONGSHOT Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I don't like the short add a leaf set-ups. As advised they will make the pack very stiff and in the long run, have adverse effects on it. Better bet is a LONG add-a-leaf OR better still is add a full/main leaf (eyes cut off) from another MJ, JX or Ranger as Pete has suggested for some time. the overall lift will likely be less. But the payload of that pack will be better, sag will be reduced and your truch will NOT drive like a tank. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Explorers. Rangers are SOA and have a lot less arch in their packs. Kinda the reverse of MJs and XJs. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 FWIW: I run an Air Lift kit and I'm very happy with it. It will lift the sagging rear suspension back to it's original height but as with add a leaf it make the ride very choppy with no load on. I carry a 1400lb camper on my MJ and the air bags stop it bottoming out over even very rough terrain. Here is the MJ kit, it cost me a round $200 CA part number 59503 http://www.airliftcompany.com/online_catalog.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
