SAGGY IN THE BUM
I notice my XJ is starting to have the dreaded flattening out of the rear leaf springs, i notice when i load her up with the usual camping gear it looks decidedly saggy in the arse end, is there a cheap fix for this, does anyone know a outfit who does a add-a-leaf type cure for a couple of hundred bucks? thanx in advance for any advice.

Not sure what they're worth, but probably one of the best ways is a set of polyair bellows (like the polyair springs), but designed for leaf springs. Seen some farmers using them, pretty impressive. They're a lot more adjustable from what I can gather than the coil version.

Hi,
My original springs sagged, then I fitted ARB springs which sagged so now I have add-a-leaves on the ARBs. I think Rancho make them. Makes the back sit at the right level but a bit stiff when no weight in the rear.

I have the same problem. I first had fitted a pair of add a leaf's, did the job and got the bum off the deck. The problem I have now is the lean to the drivers side, looks crap. The add a leaf's coast me about $90 trade. Going to Footo's on wednesday for him to add the spacers to even it all out.
Hope this helps.
