Many people want to run bigger tires so they can run the tougher trails with not just rocks, but boulders. Up until recently the only way to get high enough to clear those big meats was to get custom springs made, which takes a long time and is often pricey. Well John at BigOffroad decided he wanted big leaf springs for his xj and his customers did too The BOR springs drop shipped directly from Alcan spring are heavy duty military wrapped springs that are built specifically to run an XJ offroad. With plastic gliders between each leaf and bolt spring clamps make these things setup for flex. John knows that with the cargo room XJ's have that people like to haul gear with them. Tools, spare tires, coolers for that cold soda on a hot day. It all adds up and with most springs they barely provide the advertised ride height with nothing in the cargo room. John designed his spring sets to give the advertised lift with 350 lbs of gear in the back. Empty they provide almost 1.5" more than advertised. The 6" spring packs provide the 6" easily. Actually they gave over 7" empty. The ride is not too soft so the road ride is good. There is still PLENTY of flex though.
