wrong front leaf springs installation

[tara]

the axle tube is 2.25 inch and i cannot find any perches smaller that 2.5

Leaf spring perches are universal. Measure your axle tube diameter. Most likely the same as a D30.

can i cut the original perches and reweld them on top of the axle ?

Are you sure the axle tube is 2.25"? Even the D25 from a CJ is 2.5" as I recall.

If I understand this correctly; those ebay shackles @ 52 bucks a pair...would give me a little lift at roughly 200 bucks? Now, would this be sufficient until I got some new springs all around? My leaf springs are pretty much flat....

Just an fyi leafspring arch depends on the spring you have.. Less load capacity springs will have higher archs.. More load capacity will habe less of an arch but a thicker spring. Flat isnt as bad as inverted lol. My oem springs before i replaced them were inverted unside down lol.

My new springs are oem but higher load capacity the arch isnt as high as the factory load capacity spring.. yet they actually sit the same height as a new standard spring with the weight of the vehicle and thats due to the extra load capacity of my spring

i think u misunderstand, my leaf springs even when they are of a lift with the tires off are flat. No arch at all...
