Goose Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Ok. I have a 2" spacers up front, and a 1" shackles lift in the rear. I clearly have a sagging @$$-end. I just want another 1"-1 1/2" in the rear. What's the best way to active this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvd Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Iron man 4x4 fabrication makes a great adjustable shackle for the mj/xj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComancheKid45 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 3" XJ AAL will net ya around 1.5" in the rear of an MJ ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadinator Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Can't find any New springs. I think hell creek sells some lift springs for the manche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biotex Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I'm really not a fan of rearching springs as I find it as just a temporary fix and simply a waste of money. Having said that, I couldn't say just how long you would get out of a rearch job being the back end is so light on the MJ. Might be a viable short term solution.

Tom Tom Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Ok bear with me. I came from having xj's and on my first mj. But if you get a pair of s-10 springs cut the military wraps off and use the s-10 main leaf as your second leaf on your spring pack that should give you the arch you want. If it is to much lift then use the second sping leaf of the s-10 leaf pack instead. The s-10 springs have more arch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STERLING STINGER Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 i went to the local leaf spring shop and got a thick leaf added to each side for $125.00 it has been nothing but good to me for the last 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 Well, the lkq parts yard in town is running 50% off all parts New years day. Going to grab some s10 springs, along with anything else I find, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 Does it matter which body style they come off of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Tom Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 No it does not matter which s-10 just look at them and get the ones with the best arch. Also on a side note I know some guys that used Dakota leaf spring too. I do have a set of S-10 zr2 leafs in the back yard. But it would be cheaper for you to pull your own.
