89 MJ Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 My MJ currently has the engine out, so the front end was up a little bit from that, but when we removed my front shocks, we noticed that they were maxed out height wise. I have about 3 inches of lift in my truck on all 4 corners. Are there any vehicles that the shocks will fit from or do I need to order shocks for a lift? Also, I have longer LCAs (from a 5 inch lift for an XJ) that are already on my truck, but I want to add more lift. Does anyone have any recommendations for leaf springs and longer front springs? I am thinking around 4.5 inches of lift. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
derf Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Hell creek has some 4.5" lift springs for the rear. Everyone and their brother makes XJ springs in that range for the front. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only think I know for 100% sure is don't buy Rough Country. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete M Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I do believe Rustys also sells 4.5 leafpacks. not sure about General Spring. but those are the 3 big names in on-the-shelf MJ leafs so that's where you should look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JMO413 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Good one to read through about shocks. I measured mine and bought Bilstein using the chart above. Best money I've spent on mine. And I know everyone hate's Rusty's but mine are doing just fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ghetdjc320 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I run 5125’s on my mj. Just consider what valving you’ll need. Front and rear valving will typically be different Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ghetdjc320 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Just in case you want to spring for some shocks specifically setup for your rig I’ve heard great things about these guys: https://accutuneoffroad.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
