xj's are 23 x 28 5/8" so they'd use your same size of mount and be 3 5/8" longer to punch your wheelbase. Front waggies are only 22 1/2 x 24 1/2" so they'd only push it a little bit. But being old and beaten down they'd perform a whale of a lot better than what you have now. :D

This is where I got my info. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=773585

The reason I'm looking for Cherokee is they are 2.5in wide vs 2.375. not a big difference but..... depends on how the price compares to my favorite Tri-Cities junk yard in Richland. I'd really like to start this sooner than later.

Trash, do you have the specs on the Toys you have laying around?

I don't know much about... well anything...

is the main leaf from a Cherokee and it is stock? I don't need lifted or heavier duty springs since my vehicle is already light. How many springs are in a stock Cherokee pack? Currently I'm using 3 or 6 leaves from brand new YJs and it's riding alright. I was thinking 1 or 2 Cherokee springs is what I might need.
