Hello NC4x4,
I seek some guidance about drilling holes in leaf springs for a little extra stretch. It seems like everyone and their mother can't stop talking about their suspension stretch. My 35s in the rear xj wheel well are already gobbling up a lot of fender near the rear door. I also plan on redoing my rear shock mounts where they meet the body so that handles any collateral work that would need to be done.
Basically what I am asking is, will drilling another hole in a set of leaf springs say 1.5" to 2" back weaken them enough for possible failure? I will not be drilling them. I have tried and it is a royal PITA. Luckily there is a dedicated spring shop a few minutes away from my house.
TIA
Nick
