Re: 90 XJ springs
I just looked and they are Daystar 1 1/2" front spacers with 1 1/2"
blocks.

Re: 90 XJ springs
You can do a brand new Rough Country 3 inch lift kit with new coils in the
front and new rear leaf srpings (it includes 4 hydro shocks) for $499.00.
I'm sure BDS has springs for a lot less than that as well.
Crown Automotive makes a standard 4 leaf spring for your Cherokee. Just
contact one of their distributors. I'm sure they are less than $100.00
each!

Re: 90 XJ springs
The springs in the back are flat, the springs in the front are sagging alot,
the passenger side front is sagging lower than the driver's side. I notice
other cherokees around town and I think I have the lowest 4x4 cherokee in
town. Guess I'm more aerodynamic that way though. I just notice when I try
to crawl under there its a tight fit for me.
I got this thing from a guy from New York and man is the underside rusted
out. I went to replace the fuel filter and the bolt on the bracket holding
it has rusted away, I cant get a socket on it. I looked at the springs and
alot of the area around them is starting to rot away :( I think I'm gonna
just ride it like it is then trade it in for a newer cherokee with less
problems. I was trying to go the ultimate cheap way on this one but I think
it's too far gone. Thanks for the info on the lift kits though, I'll most
likely lift the newer xj when I get it.
