Some used rough country 4.5" coils that I bought off here about a month ago. The jeep leaned as soon as I put them on. It leans an inch to the passenger side front AND back

Have you tried swapping the springs to the other side?

Mine used to lean like that.

I replaced the rear springs and it sits level now.

okay so im trying to eliminate my lift blocks with bastard packing two xj leafs, so i went with xj main xj main cut xj 2nd xj 2nd xj 3 and xj 4th how do you think this will work? i also have adj shackles im lookin to be around 4inchs any insight will help and yea i know dakota or s10 springs work better but i had leafs layin around from my old xj

Adding extra xj leafs is like wiping before you poop. They all have stock arch and spring rate so they won't give you any lift over stock. That's why ppl use s10 and Dakota springs. More arch and higher spring rate

dukie564

actually they will - by adding more leafs he's increasing the spring rate of the pack, thus resulting in more lift under the same load. Arch ain't everything.

imm a listen to dukie on this one hes a jeep goddd lol

So how much lift will that give then? I see your theory behind this but I don't see how it would equate to 4" of lift? I am not trying to be ignorant, I just didn't realize it could give you so much lift

bruni86xj

well i have 6 springs vs the stock 4 and also i have adj shackles which give around 1in to 1.5 in of lift


but am not sure what its gonna be all in all

BNJeepsta

Maybe that will work. My buddy used an extra xj main in his pack and it didn't do anything but perhaps 2 extra and the shackle will get ya there.

NewKindOfClown

It adds the height of each leaf, plus the extended shackle. Then factor in the loss of spring compression due to the higher spring rate. Will it give 4? I don't think so, but I'm guessing. Either way, it'll be taller than the single stock pack.

dukie564

it will not give 4" - maybe closer to 1.5"-2" depending on the pack condition.

I assume the rest of the lift will come from the shackles

im just doin this till i get enough for the rough country 6.5 and an sye, its already at 4 now but its w 3 in lift blocks

BNJeepsta

That must axle wrap like a mo fo

bruni86xj

it really doesn't just rides like i have rocks for suspension lol

bruni86xj

so if i use the dakota or s10 springs it would be a better idea? im not against hittin the jy
