XJ stock spring rates
 

Hi all,

I'm looking at replacing my stock XJ rear spring packs. They are saggy, (of
course) and I want to fit 31's anyway. Question: Does anybody know what
the spring rate is for stock '99 XJ rear springs? I do not have the
upcountry package.

Thanks,
RAC

Re: XJ stock spring rates
 

According to:
http://www.800-923-jeep.com/techCorner/tire_fitment.cfm you need at
least a two inch lift. So I would Google XJ Cherokee spring lift price,
for:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...=Google+Search
Then ask them questions about how you drive it, with or without a
thousands pounds of camping gear inside, etc.

Re: XJ stock spring rates
 

Thanks Bill,

But I actually wanted the stock spring rates, not lift vs tire size. I want
to be able to compare the new springs to the stockers in terms of load
carrying and ride quality. I'm looking at a set of OME springs. They are
rated at 148 lbs/in. But I have no idea what the stock springs are rated
at, so it's hard to evaluate in relative terms.

Re: XJ stock spring rates
 

I thought you wanted to to fit 31's.
Formula: park XJ on level ground, set brake, measure height, start
loading deck evenly above axle with whatever you know the weight of,
bricks, dog food, girlfriends. When the ride height has dropped one
inch, calculate that weight and divide by two.
