Installed a CS033RB on the driver's side, today. I didn't do both because I spent some time wrestling with rusty bolts and experimenting with pack configuration.
Even with the extra leaf removed, the ride height was still increased by a generous amount. More than I had hoped, but it should be ideal when the Jeep is heavily laden for adventure.

With the that middle leaf removed will it be about level with a 3" coil?

Don't forget it takes a little while for a fresh spring to settle into it's ride height.

Yup, even after just a few days of driving it will come down a bit

Nice XJ. I had a 2000 XJ with a RE 3.5" with 31" MTR's. I loved it, until the head cracked. I parted it out and sold it. Then I went to an LJ, then had a child, now I'm in a WJ.
I like your head unit delete. I am currently deleting mine, but am looking to do an in the dash Nexus 7 install. I like your switch idea though!

New springs all installed, sans extra leaves. They're noticeably firmer. My dozen-year-old shocks might be inadequate, but they'll do for the time being. The Cherokee is completely empty in this picture. In contrast, my front suspension is extremely soft (and also old).
It looks like a lot of rake right now, but it'll settle a little, and I think this will be ideal for heavy payload and towing.

I don't call that a lot of rake - that's perfect stance.

I can't remember what your ride height out in front is. I just got 3" coils for mine and I ordered those same leaf packs. So take a leaf out? And are you using stock shackles? Thanks.

Called ARB and I removed my third leaf from the top down... can't wait to out these on.
