rear leaf springs?

im hitting up the junkyards on saturday what are some leaf springs i can get that will give me 2-3 inches :huh:

S10 pickups or blazers, mid 90's is where I got mine and built a bastard pack by mixing up some jeep and chevy springs, be sure to get new U bolts, and for centering pins, you can use bolts with rounded heads, and you can make your own pack clamps with some thin sheet or plate... there are gazillions of threads on this, but I'm no "search nazi" and am willing to help

how many leafs do i mix? oh yea sorry if i ask so much questions. better to ask then not and look stupid

 

[avnsteve]

well, you just gotta play with the results, no one person can say exactly how yours will work out. don't worry, after you take the spring pack down once, you'll get pretty good at it and it becomes not such a big task the next time. i really don't know a better method, just build your pack, I would think the xj main to start with, and maybe the rest S10, the reassemble it and drive it, then adjust from there for less or more height as desired.

im not sure there are any bolt on leaf springs, like avnsteve is saying a bastard pack would net you what you want....

but for the front V8 ZJ coils net about an 1" and TJ front coils net about 3"

Never heard of tj springs adding lift, may want to recheck you information.

Neither have I. Think they are the same as stock springs on anything else (nonv8 ZJ, XJ, etc.).
