Thank you, looks like I am going with new springs and foregoing the SOA. My old 4” arched springs are just old and dropped. Since I did not cut out the wheel wells on the bed, I need that clearance, and anything greater than 4”would be better. I do have 3/4” taller spring shackles.

Thank you, that helped!

I have other vehicles for daily driving and moving stuff. So my Comanche is really for some road and trail riding,not rock crawling and not deep mud., however I do want suspension travel. Which leads to a question that I will ask now, related to my dilemma, it’s a question I had anyway. Take two scenarios, which case has more travel in suspension, a truck with 1.5” lift spring and SOA, or the same lift but it’s a 6.5” spring and no SOA.?? Thank you, Pete and Minebeast

Hello everyone, it’s been a while.Hope all is well. Here’s my inquiry for help; I am ready to replace my old 4” lift Rusty’s brand leaf springs. I want to be a bit higher in the back than when these springs were brand new( I did not cut the bed wheel wells and not planning to do that). So here’s my dilemma, Shall I install new stock or 1.5” springs and a SOA kit, or keep the springs under and go with a bigger arched spring? And the biggest arched spring that I can find is Rusty’s 4”. Please let me know what you think. And best brand springs. I know other places including my local area can manufacture springs, I just don’t know what information to give them for building. FYI , the front suspension is Clayton long arm with 4” coils and Aços adjustable spacers. I can change out the front coils if needed. The front fenders have been cut. 35” tires. Thank you, and all ideas are welcome.

Congratulations!

Glad to here that you are on a good path. Stay strong and no need to thank us, you are the one that is making the right choices.

I will keep my eyes open at my local spots around here and let you know if I come across something.👀

I have been trying to finish up some things on my Jeep,but have been busy at work. I will be at the show Saturday morning. But I may have to tow it. I will drive it if I can. Feel free to bust my chops if I tow!

I will be driving through the philly area early Saturday morning 0600+/-, if anybody wants to meet on the way, let me know.

I just registered for the show. See you Saturday. I may bring stuff for sale. I did not get a table/ vendor spot. Not sure if I want to let go of a set of 5 turbine rims, freshly sand blasted ready for paint or powder coat. I would love to use them, but the off set is not enough, and I am not a fan of spacers.

Great thread! Big help, I will be using all of information, thank you!

Thank you and to everyone who served our country!🇺🇸

For some reason I had a difficult time logging into the Cherokee forum to find jhc7399( could be because I suck at this whole computer/ social media thing), So as I was searching elsewhere I found them on line,( MotorMan fuel injector supply) I was able to call and speak to them directly. Ended up buying from them, I paid about 150. I wanted to buy from jhc7399, and wish I did, mainly because of the recommendations from here and as others said his price is less than 100. However, I am completely satisfied with Motor Man.

Ordered a set of injectors, got them a couple days ago, had a chance to install them tonight. Took it for a spin, holy crap, what a difference! Thank you everyone who gave me advice.

Welcome!

Here’s what I have in the hood: $50 for a good used hood $50 materials in blasting $200 for the louvers $100 for the body shop $400 sounds like a lot of money,, I actually have more than that into it, I was being conservative with the numbers. Because I am a sandblasting contractor, I am showing only 50 for blasting material, no labor cost. Hope you like

The one for sale is the white one in primer, it does not have holes for pins.

I have a hood, just completed. Sand blasted, Louvers punched , bodyshop finished with direct to metal primer. I will bring to York if anyone is interested. Please let me know, and I will bring the hood. Here’s a photo of the one in white primer. And some photos of similar hood on my Comanche. Thanks,Jim

Thank you kook , I may do that, but what I’m against is time. I will definitely consider doing that if I cannot find a source. I am also getting ready to swap the radiator for an aftermarket one( I already switched over to open system). Any suggestions on brand, I see Quadratec has a few. Thanks again, Jim.

Hello everyone. I’ve been procrastinating with fuel injector replacement. So I’ve been looking around for the Volvo 0280155746, “746” injectors. Brand new at the parts store is expensive. On eBay, looks like no-name brand is cheaper. But what I am having a hard time with is finding a reliable rebuilt set. Can someone please direct me to a person who sells them. I tried the names that I had previously ( thank you Neil), but having a difficult time with that now. Thank you for all the help.

I have no excuses. I am local enough be there. I will start planning that weekend to be free to go.

Abby, I am so sorry for your lost. And thank you for keeping us all involved. You and your family are in my prayers. Don was a great man.

I want the squwallet. Looks like it can be used as a back scrather as well. And a bottle opener!

Prayers out to you and your family Don. Get well.

Good job,and thank you!
