Find a Carquest parts store and buy a pair of XJ/MJ "Cargo Coils"

 

BTW -- There's no such thing as a Grand Cherokee V6 -- at least, there wasn't until this year.

yes the grand cherokee came with a v8 or L6 4.0 engine and the v8 springs are the same size as the L6 but the are thicker gauge for the heavier engine.

Ford f'ing trucks (F-150, 250...) coils work. 4.5" of lift, rides like you've not got any suspension, outflexes a forklift by a hair.

 

 

Some of them need to be 'modified' to fit on the coil bucket though, as they have a cross to retain them at the bottom. Got angle grinder?

 

 

Ford thunderbird coils work. They're weird.

 

 

V8GC coils. Yup. 1.25" maybe.

 

 

 

As far as other junkyard things go... Take a set of calipers, a tape measure, and a calculator and you can figure 'em out.
