  • What are the spec differnces between different "height" leafs?

    On the jeep: a krustys 6.5" pack - 2 bottom leaves, problem is it's still too tall and doesn't hold weight well

    off the jeep: a krustys 4.5" pack, with bad bushings


    My dilemma is, i want the 4.5" height, I'm tired of the raked look. Which portin of the leaves is it that determines the lift height? Meaning could I keep the main leaf I have in there and put all the 4.5 secondary leaves in? Or is the true height gain in the main leaf itself?

      just replace the bushings in the 4.5" pack and swap it in.

      rusty's leafs are pretty much all the same rate (relative to height of course)

        Well, thr issue is I have bushings with maybe 1k miles on them in the 6,5's, I'm trying to figure out if the eye-to-eye length on the two are the same/close

              Completely unbolt leaf packs from jeep, finagle te bushings out, finagle bushings into new leafs, reinstall leaf(s)

              or

              pull center pin, take away useless leaves, put new ones up, put center pin back in but it seems obvious to me

                2nd option sounds easier
