In most cases i wouldnt use a lift block in any wheeler but its a cherokee and i love these stock springs what sprigs should i go with if i were to change. Im new to the xj world and dont know who makes good lift sprigs for them.

Rubicon Express makes a decent leaf, or you could run extended shackles and a full length add-a-leaf, something from another application???

i might try the shackle thing and maybe a 1 inch block thanks for the input.

You will be better off runnin' no blocks as binder stated...Better to lose abit of flex in favor of a sounder setup...(The fronts on the XJ's flex plenty to make up for any rear loss....)...

i agree i will give this a try then thank you.

weld the dam blocks to the rear end. put a wrap bar on it and call it good.

You were the black chopped XJ up there? I was riding in the silver LJ that came up the rocks when you guys were using two jeeps to pull your broken one up moon rocks.

theirs not a whole lot of places to atatch a wrap bar to the unibody and the block will keep warping my springs so ill jut do an extra leaf or two and make up the difference with shackles

We towed it back down aroud 8 at night and i went back to town in the morning got parts and went back up to fix it and came home yesterday it wasnt to big of deal. This is my first cherokee build so ive got some more work to do but i was impressed with how it wheeled and chopping it really makes it nice for getting stuff out of the back.
