I didn't see an "introduce yourself" section so here goes.
Hello, I'm Donny!
I bought my first XJ, a 95 sport that was stock all the way around. I have since lifted it 3" using OME 2934's in the front and shackle relocation brackets with RC lift shackles. It sits perfectly level as I wanted but the rear leafs are just very slightly bending down below level at the shackle. FYI I did get exactly 3" lift from the 2934's in the front with stock bumper, no winch, etc. which is a much asked question about these springs.
My concern is that with everything as desired and now the shackle angle is 45 deg, but now obviously putting more stress on the leaf pack it will die very soon with some wheeling.
Should I replace the leafs with a factory replacement, HD replacement? Any aftermarket lift leaf assy will lift it more a rake the rear, correct? I don't want that as I'm sitting exactly how I wanted it.
Also I'm reading that there are different OE leafs between 5-7" arc or so. How do I know what came on it? I have the build sheet and all it says is it has tow package.
Thanks for reading!
