[peter s]

 would 80 to mid 90s  jeep cherokee stock leaf springs  give me that two inch lift  ill be using one inch spacers in the front  and what year would be the better one to use  thaks

I'm just chiming in so I can follow the thread.

I have used rear leafs from many different vehicles on my Eagle.   The main leaf can remain, and leafs from any other spring pack can be used as long as they are the same width.   Springs that have a higher arc but don't fit lengthwise, can be used by just using the Eagle main (top) leaf.

Rollguy,

So since you seem to have a good knowledge of many leafs, which did you like the best? And I'm guessing you were going for different lift sizes...so how many inches were you getting with your setups.

I had a bunch of springs from different cars (the same width) laying around, so I built up a spring pack using 6 other leafs added to the main Eagle leaf.  I don't know how many inches it raised it from stock, but it raised it so the rear is the same height as the front.

So could you get away with just adding a leaf as long as it is the rite width? Man that is just to easy.

I di just that to my 84. I think i used ranger leafs

[Prafeston]

Do you know the width off hand?

2.5". I added 3 leaves per side from a front pair of Grand Wagoneer springs. You will need longer center bolts and U bolts. Do an internet search of "inconsiderate person pack".

HaHa. It censored a word. Replace inconsiderate person with the first two letters of bat and last five letters of mustard.

how did you get the bolt that holds all of the springs together loose.
