Is there a way to generally stiffen up / revitalise my 94 Cherokee rear leaf springs, thinking of a bolt on length of leaf to help my weakened springs.

I was on a big (like 3,500 mile roundtrip) roadtrip and lost a clamp on the spring of my '98 Cherokee Sport. None of the mechanics could look at it within a day or so, and I didn't want to waste time waiting for them.
Went to a hardware store, got 15-20 feet of decent gauge steel wire, and wrapped the spring tight. Put on a couple hose clamps also. Held up through the Rockies & Cascades.
But I called a junkyard today and they sell new springs for only $60 apiece. So that's where I'm headed in a week or two. A lot cheaper than the Jeep dealer, I'll say that much.

What you need is the Rock Lizard budget boost:
An add-a-leaf that will help that sagging back end, without trashing your ride quality. I haven't done it myself (yet), but as soon as I can find a cheap pair of original springs, I will.
