Hello
I am putting back together a 1993 XJ Sport. I picked it up with what looks like a cobbled together 4.5" lift, appears to be most likely Rough Country, which I want to remove and step down to 3". I sourced the front coils I want, but now I am trying to figure out the correct combination for rear leaf springs and shackles to ensure good ride quality. The rig does have a Smittybilt rear bumper/tire carrier setup I would guess is around 200 lbs with the spare. I'm looking for the following:
-Maintaining about 3" of lift
-Leaf springs which will provide good ride quality with the rear bumper/carrier weight
-Establishing the proper shackle angle
Any help you could provide in getting the right combination here would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Ryan
