Will a 97+ XJ lift fit on a '91 MJ?

[Jeepcom23]

I found one at the JY on an XJ and they want $150 for it.

All I will have to do is get another shock bc one was bent in the wreck.

Front, probably. Rear probably not. But it all depends on what exactly it is. How much lift is it? Is it a complete kit? or just someone's hack job using just longer coils and a block spacer in the rear? Does it have longer lower control arms? Longer uppers? Does it have a full leaf pack? or just an AAL? Long AAL or short AAL? I would leave the short AAL behind. If it uses blocks to raise the rear, those are worthless on an MJ.

 

And am I the only one that goes to the junkyard with a camera?

[Jeepcom23]

alright, thanks.

I will go tomorrow and take pics.

I take a camera, otherwise what happens when you find stuff like this:

 

 

 

it is a richard petty edition minivan, it was authentic too.

[Jeepcom23]

Well, I went back down there to take some pics for you guys, 15 minutes before they close and they wouldn't let me in :mad:. So I'm gonna go back when they open in the morning and get you guys some pics.

aside from the parts pete mentioned, check out the steering components. does it have parts to correct the steering geometry (track bar, for example)? maybe a heavier duty tie rod? also depends on how much lift it has and how worn it is, as well as brand (although that may be hard to figure out).

[Jeepcom23]

the shocks said BDS SUSPENION I think.

 

Anyways, thanks for your help guys.

I'll get some pics up for you guys in the morning.

Check out http://www.bds-suspension.com, select products by vehicle, 97 Cherokee XJ 4wd and it shows all lift kits they made for that vehicle along with what parts they gained the lift with.

 

Pretty much nothing on the rear would fit, I'm guessing front would interchange.

[Jeepcom23]

Here they are.

And if It won't fit on mine, and one of you guys want it, tell me and I'll ship it.

Umm, those are stock upper and lower control arms. Might be a small lift, if that. There's a chance he might have just gotten aftermarket shocks. Personally, I'm not sure I'd even bother with any of it. The rear shocks won't even fit the MJ.

looks like it has a couple of nice wheels still on it, and a few 97+ body parts.

[jtdesigns]

Those were first used on 00+ XJ classics, then later on a few KJs(such as the columbia edition).

[Jeepcom23]

Thanks Pete. I 'll pass then.

 

Could I use any of those parts?

Or anyone need something off of it? I can ship for the cheap.

 

And JT I'm in Tennessee

Well that narrows it down to 41,217.12 square miles..

[Jeepcom23]

Well, JT I am in Chattanooga Tennessee.

That ought to narrow it down to 118.4 square miles.
