mkbruin Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 hit or miss with junkyard packs. Some say a j-series or waggy rear pack will get you close, others say a toyota pack or XJ pack with an MJ main... Any way you go (well, maybe not waggy rear) you will have less support on the mj main and will experience severe sagging or braking/bending of the main. Personally, I would go AAL or new HC packs. Its just not worth spending almost as much for used junk. Think of it this way. take where you are now. Add 3" for axle tube diameter alone. Add another 1/2 to 1" for perches. add another 1.5" for the thickness of the pack. If you plan to keep the factory pack, you will not get down to ~3.5". Just won't happen.
