build sheet - Re: 87 XJ rear leaf springs
Thanks for the info Billy Ray
I live in Canada so I can't complete the form, it requires a state and zip code so it will not accept my province and postal code. I want to get a build sheet for all 5 of my Cherokees including my old DD, 2 fixer-uppers and 2 parts donors. If I can't do it online, what should I ask the dealer for? My parts dealer Town and Coutry Chrysler (highly reccomended) in Smiths Falls is open late on Wednesdays so I could go there after work this week.
