Custom leaf springs "DIY Pack"

Looking into an SOA on my 1990 Wrangler. I am currently SUA with 4" RE springs. I have at my disposal those leaf packs, a set of stock leaf packs, and maybe some others out back. I want to build an SOA pack out of those and keep the lift small, around 1-1.5". Is this possible, or just buy new RE springs? Trying to keep the cost down so I can afford more in the steering and axle wrap categories.

1990 Wrangler, 4 cyl, 5-speed, stock axles. I do not want to lengthen my wheel base, just SOA stock length.

Thanks

I build a few packs, (check my thread), some pics, etc. You can definitely build a pack with what you have.
