How much rear lift do you want? If you want 3.5" go over to rustysoffroad.com and buy their 3.5" rear leaf packs for $229 but if 4.5" is what you want then go for the rough country springs..Just my 2 cents worth.. Or even better get some RE rear leaf packs..

OK here they are, this is what I could find in my price range, Any I dea,s Thanks again........Moe
$73 to ship those pro-comp springs....i'd pass You are paying almost the same amount as those RC springs.

Go with RC. Their springs are great, customer service better and you can remove a leaf and get 3 or 3.5" lift out of them.

At first i thought you were aiming soley for pro-comp and they would do fine but since you threw RC into the game, there's only one way to go: RC

Oh by the way, if you choose RC, call them up and order directly from THEM. They ship the very nice day and may even have a better price. Ebay venders tend to delay.

I just got my 3" leafs from 4WDH $159 ea.

Compared to the "anti-arch" springs I have, these will be a vast improvement.

Heavy little mothers. As for how they hold up? Dunno I just got a hernia trying to get them off the front porch.
(They were bundled together)

Doesn't come w/bushings. Ordered them thru QuadraTech. Stock replacements. I have no need for poly units.
Whaddya know, I get INSIDE, and there are the bushings...what luck.

Now I just need to pick up some fresh hardware and a decent set of shocks, and I have my weekend all planned out. Flat on my back and under my XJ. Can't ask for much more than that.
Wellllll, I could, but we won't go into that.

Sry alien but the ProComps are not very good quality for XJs. I certainly would not spend the effort to put them on my Jeep even if they were given to me. They will be flat in about a year even if you do little more than haul groceries. They make some products that are great quality (lights) but their XJ springs are not one of them.

Hey man, if you happen to need new shackle bolts, lemme know. I just picked up two from the dealer and don't need em now. Those darn bolts seize to the bushings alot.

Procomps are fine if your not wheelin hard or towing. I have seen a few of them on XJ's, they work great for a DD, but tend to weaken over time.

Well I will be towing a 18ft bass boat so I dont need no sag.... Im thinking rough country now!! Im trying to stay $300 or less. I guess I can go 3 inch lift springs and a 1 inch block or a shackle I guess, I need to tilt my rear end to line of my shaft so a small 1 inch wedged lift block prob wouldnt hurt. correct me if Im wrong.......

I have a set of 4 degree shims/wedges from Rubicon Express if you happen to need that degree. Brand new never used with new center pins.
