nope, 180 soaking wet, but my buddy tells me the jeep seems to level off
once I get in it..

I'm going to have a shop look at the leafs in the back, I can't afford a
suspension lift right now, but I feel I should do something before it gets
worse...

Would it be politically incorrect to inquire as to the weight of
your main passenger? I've seen a few where they should be carrying
the Jeep and not vice versa.

Hi Jim,
You might crawl around under your YJ to make sure all the shackle
perches are good, some CJ-7s at least, have a rust out problem.
