Im looking to add a bit of length to my wheelbase but dont want to go all the way to XJ leafs. Im wondering what other leaf springs will work to strech the rear a couple of inches

If you want to stretch your jeep a couple inches you may as well go for the xj springs, they will be the easiest to make work. take into consideration you will prolly have to do a comp cut or somethin like the gen right corners

Comp cutting is the reason I dont want to go to XJ leafs. I will do that possible one day if I go full width's and bigger tires, but living in FL I dont see the need right now.

Waggy's + 2" strech. Use them them front and rear and you get 4".
You can also use offset spring perches which give you 1" per axle. You can combine the waggys and the perches or use them individually. Cheap and easy!

Make sure you check the clearance between your pumpkin and the gas tank. All I did was add a HD diff cover to my 8.8 and it had to self-clearance itself with the axle still in the stock location. Even 1" added to my stock wheelbase and I will have to relocated my gas tank.
