what was your reasoning for this? are you doing front and rear?
there are several guy on the board who have tonned their tj, but none who have gone to leafs. pirate would be the place to go because i have seen it done there.

This is not a joke, I currently have 3 TJ's - one stock and one lifted on 36"s but I wanted to attempt the leaf lift for something different. It will be sua.

I don't really need that much lift but this will basically be a jeep made for mud bogs that doesn't have to be a trailer queen so I would like a good amount of clearance

if soa, ranco 44044, they are stock front waggy replacements but are less prone to bending like the stock waggys.
I will eventually soa my yj and will be doing so with xj mains front and rear with s10 mains mixed in to help with wrap. Springs will be near flat. I will be frenching the mounts, generous trimming and 40-42" tire.
If you are sua, I am currently running 4" rubicon express extreme duty with 1.5" stretch. I run 36 now with about 3" cut out of the hood, I can fit a 40" on the front easily if not more. On the rear, a little more trimming and I could fit 40's as well.

Problem with that much lift and a near stock wheel base is drive line angles... 8" of lift with anything under a 44" tire is just big gay truck-ville
