What is the easiest way to add 1" to a leaf pack other than blocks?:rattle: :rattle:
mad maXJ said:2 inch longer shackle, or adding another leaf to the pack, though you would have to experiment a little to get it right with that

Big Al 331 said:Two short on each side. One is about 1" longer than the other so it on top.

To answer Techno's question: The way I prefer to do it is get a donor pack that's the same as the XJ pack or longer. Cut the eyes off the main leaf of the donor pack and use that directly under the XJ main leaf. Ideally, it should extend as fas as it's possible for the two to have contact. Once the main leaf eye curves away from the AAL there's no need for more length -- except don't forget that when the suspension droops, the second leaf slides, so a half inch or so of extra length won't hurt anything and keeps the support under the main leaf even when drooped.
