    Don't be too hard on them. They're just doing a job and probably don't know all the ins and outs of Jeep Cherokees. They probably sell tons of Chevy/Ford block lifts and never had an issue and just...

    If you were going to replace the rear leaf packs I'd tell you to just buy these. They are "upcountry" spec so a bit higher spring rate which is what makes it rider higher.

    Moog CC782 is a good option for a good ride and flex but you'll have to put some coil spring isolators in to get to desired height. These are the V8zj...

    How old is your Jeep? Mileage? There's a pretty good chance the stock springs are worn out to start with. A "bastard pack" built from S10 leaves could be one options.
