So I put the stock suspension back on my 95 xj and the front end went back together nicely except the track bar looks like. It’s smacking the front diff but the real question is why on my rear suspension I went and put the normal. 4leaf pack back on but my stock shocks are over extended am I missing something any help would be much appreciated
also no there were no shims or blocks on the leaf springs so don’t know what I’m missing because my rear end is super bouncy

Take some pictures and post them here.
did you use OEM shackles, leaf packs, shocks, and U bolts? There is no need for shims or anything like that. The shocks should not be over extended you may have the wrong length shocks

so they are stock shocks and not sure about the shackles and leaf packs but the leaf pack that was on it had 6 leaves and oem was only 4 from my understanding so I took two of the leaves out and everything looks like. It’s sitting at stock height but the rear end I feel like the tires berely stay on the grown also I’ll get pictures when it’s not dumping snow and the pinion angle looks ok I don’t get super vibrations so I’m not too sure what I’m missing I know there if still an adjustable track bar in the front and also the upper control arms are the adjustable and I swapped the steering link to a grand Cherokee linkage because it’s a little more beefier then the xjs skinny little tube they call a tie rod lol it that wouldn’t have to do with the rear right or am I wrong I’m kinda new to the whole Jeep thing I had a 94 ford explorer that I put my life into and that thing. Was sweet then someone stole it and have yet to find it I. Still sad about it but anyways ya I don’t know what the hell is going on
