I got a '92 XJ with a 4 inch Pro Comp suspension lift. My rear leaf
springs have almost no bend in them, this is my first XJ so I am not
familar with how the spring should look. I want to lift it at least 2
more inches, but I want to know if I should look into new leaf springs
or if mine are normal.

What do you mean by "almost no bend"? The arch of the spring? Doesn't take much. Stock the springs are almost straight it just takes a slight arch to add lift.
What size tire you running? Why so much lift I guess is all I am wondering.
I runn 33" tires with around 3.75" of lift.

Get new leaf springs. XJ's are nortorious for sagging
springs; doesn't matter if they are stock or ProComp,
Rough Country, etc. Your springs should have a good
bend in them. Larger shackles will give u a little
lift too, but will change your drive line angle if you
dont put a wedge in. Good luck

Yup ... get new springs ... they are supposed to be quite a bit of
bend/arc when new.
And if you don't mind a little stiffer ride, you could cut the eye of
the old spring (main leaf) and use the leaf to double-up your new spring
(so you have 2 no.1 spring in each pack) ...
I've done this and the spring doesn't sag for a long time, even after
lots of heavy off-road uses ... eventually they will sag though (3 years
later) ...oh well .. hehehe
