Hey Guys, my old Bastard pack is slowly sagging to nothingness and I was looking for some good JY combos to get some good Flex on a XJ with about 5" of lift approx. Now mine has a Comanche back and 1/2 box so my weight is a bit reduced but what I really need is some better flex in the rear,,..

Post up your recipes!

YJ springs arent nessicarily the way to go. S-10 and Dodge Dakota leaves usually net 4-5" on an XJ and are great for flex. Use that with a 1.5-2" shackle and your done.

Or you could always use a u-bolt elimintator.

Or you could relocated the rear spring hanger for better travel.

Theres tons of options Jensen. Get back in the XJ and start searching. Theres TONS of good leaf info in there. Also in the TOTM section you can find front leaf conversions and ASH has an equation for figureing out leaf spring rates.
That could be very benificial to your idea's. Good luck.

x2 on the Dakota pack, mine flexes pretty good :flipoff2:

with the dodge leafs, how good is the leaf drop??-- ive got 6.5" lift leafs on my xj and there is no drop what so ever, it sx's!!!

I mixed leafs from a s10 and the stock xj's until i found what i wanted. Theres no set design thats going to work for everyone. The best way to figure it out is to try a few different setups on YOUR rig and then go from there.
