Hey, just got my Yj on the road, have a 2" body lift put on my 8274 and the jeep is doing a nose dive about 1 -1.5" anyone here tryed a stock leaf from something else to get that back? or maybe a shackle? don't want to much shackle looking for someone whos' done this so i can get the right one first shot.


also have you guys seen the mitsubushi j 54 or 53? The diesel willys clone. maybe i;m behind the times but those are nice.

Are you running stock or aftermarket springs?.If they're aftermarket count your leaf packs,you may have the ones with more packs in the rear wich is why it's nosediving.If they're stocks,you may want to buy an add-a-leaf or just add a leaf from another spring pack.If you run a shackle on your stocks it'll add more stress to the allready sagged springs,causing them to sag more.

X2, If you want a cheap add-a-leaf, take the main leaves out of a used set and cut the eyes off them, it'll help a bunch with the nose-diving and spring wrap.
