Have you measured your driveshaft angles yet? The stock 1310 u-joint can handle up to a 12* operating angle. And there are plenty of slip yokes that can handle that angle, like the YJ slip yoke. And it's a bit longer than the stock MJ yoke. So, what is your driveshaft angle?

I think Willy nailed it with his bobbed long bed. The proportions look right to me. Compare it to the long bed following it.

No, what you are saying is wrong because of the following, and I'm sure Joe can back it up if he remembers. When I bought my MT 3+2 springs in 06, Joe mistakenly sent me his stock factory "model" spring, with the Chrysler p/n 52001825 stamped on it. Before I sent it back to Joe, I laid them out side.by-side; they were identical. Same free arch, same leaf ends, same wrap, same everything. His 3+2 MT spring is an exact copy of the original factory MT spring.

For 1991 five different 4-leaf springs and one 5-leaf spring were offered. The parts manuals do not indicate the free arch of each but I'm betting they were all different. 4 SPRING ASSEMBLY *** 5200 6448 2 Std. Duty, 4 Leaf, Coded RB 5200 6444 2 Std. Duty, 4 Leaf, Coded RD 5200 6446 2 Std. Duty, 4 Leaf, Coded RE 5200 6445 2 Std. Duty, 4 Leaf, Coded RF 5200 6447 2 Std. Duty, 4 Leaf, Coded RG 5200 1825 2 H.D., 5 Leaf, Coded SD

Thanks for the clarification Joe. I personally am still very happy with the MT springs I purchased from you back in 06. There was very little "settling in" and the handling and ride remains excellent.

Look in Cruiser's Tips, #18.

Gasp! What's next? A Prius? :yes:

Hey mate, you said you were in way over your head, and I agreed. Then provided you a link so you could see what you're getting into.

Not yet? I'll shoot him another email............

Don't you have a JK also? It'll fit back there.

You could always tie it on the roof rack if it doesn't fit, si?

Height Sensing Brake Proportioning Valve Adjustment Procedure In addition to the pressure differential valve, a mechanically activated height sensing proportioning valve is used on Comanche models. This valve, located above the rear axle, must be adjusted any time rear springs are replaced, or the valve is removed during service operations. Any time the valve is adjusted, the lever bushing must be replaced. The adjustment must be made with the vehicle level and at curb weight. Special tools are needed for this job. Fig. 1: Exploded view of the height sensing proportioning valve installed on the Comanche. The 1990-92 models DO NOT use a spring (5) Fig. 2: Height sensing proportioning valve (1) and linkage (2) Removal & Installation, See Figure 3 1. Disconnect the valve lever and spring, if equipped. 2. Disconnect and cap the brake lines. 3. Unbolt and remove the valve. 4. Installation is the reverse of removal. Torque the Valve bracket-to-frame bolts to 13 ft. lbs. (17 Nm) and tighten the valve-to-bracket bolts to 10 ft. lbs. (13 Nm). 5. Perform the valve adjusting procedure outlined in this section. Fig. 3: Proportioning valve connections ADJUSTMENT Except 1990-92 Comanche Models 1. Remove the valve shaft nut and washer. 2. Disconnect the valve lever and remove the spring. 3. Remove and discard the bushing. 4. Rotate the valve shaft and install adjusting gauge tool J-35853-2 or its equivalent. The gauge must be properly seated on the D shape of the shaft and the valve lower mounting bolt. All linkage components, except the spring, must be connected before installing the new bushing. 5. Place the bushing in the lever, and, using bushing aligning tool J-35853-1 or its equivalent, press the bushing and lever onto the shaft. 6. Remove the lever and adjusting tool J-35853-2 or its equivalent and install the spring. 7. Install the lever, washer and nut. Tighten the nut to 100 inch. lbs. (11 Nm). 8. Connect the spring. 1990-92 Comanche Models Valve adjustment requires Calibration Kit 6229 or its equivalent. Of course, this is not possible. To adjust, align shaft flat at the 6 o'clock position by eye. 1. Raise the vehicle and support it safely with jackstands. 2. Unload the vehicle and place on a level surface for accurate valve adjustment. 3. Remove the nut attaching lever to the valve shaft. 4. Pull the lever and retainer off the valve shaft and remove old the bushing. Discard the bushing. 5. Clean the threads and splines on the valve shaft. If valve the link was disconnected from axle the bracket or lever, reconnect the link before continuing. 6. Loosen the valve mounting bolts two full turns. Then turn valve shaft until the shaft flat is approximately between the 5 and 6 o'clock position. 7. Install the valve adjusting gauge and it position on the mounting bolts and shaft. There should be no clearance between the gauge, shaft and bolts. The gauge should be seated on the shaft flat. 8. Install the retainer on the lever, and the bushing on the retainer. Start the bushing and the lever on the valve shaft and press into place with the tools provided in kit 6229 or its equivalent. 9. Remove the adjustment gauge and the bushing installer tool. Tighten the valve mounting bolts to 10 ft. lbs. (13 Nm) and tighten the lever nut to 100 inch lbs. (11 Nm).

What is it? Renix, HO, OBD1 or 2? Depending on your year, it's probably the ASD relay unlatching. From a previous post: http://www.allpar.com/fix/codes/sensors/auto-shutdown.html

Read this thread in it's entirety: http://comancheclub.com/topic/39492-the-truly-custom-86-mj-custom/ I think you are too based on your questions. Do your homework. ^^

Did you check for fault codes?

I'm using the old 930 coils, and got a full 2" of lift. The newer 2930 coils were their replacements and you should get the same. Everyone I know who has used these coils got about 2" minimum. Also, ARB/OME marked the MJ/XJ coils for left and right side placement; they probably still do but I'm not sure. It's supposed to be a spring load design thing to compensate for engine torque.

I have some PJs just like those! Keep us updated on Jon Kelly and your order. I hear he's had some tough times lately and is behind on his orders.

Yes, he does travel a lot. Those coils should give you at least 2", maybe a bit more with the 2.5. And they never sag. Morris 4x4 is a good vendor too. On the other matter the front measurement is 33-1/4". Tires are 31" Michelin LTX A/T, 30.5" dia.

^^^ This. I do the same thing since I have a few springs left over from old hoses I have changed out in the past. Maybe it's not necessary with the new "stronger" lower hoses, but it's one less thing you don't have to think about.

AARRGG - thought you sold it in 2013 - my bad. Get an HO this time Jeff. :cheers:

Yep, Jeff Scherb. He's done a lot of neat Jeep projects over the years. Talented guy.........

Coming out soon. I like it. 4 Door 2 Door
