Huntingman2706217 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Wouldn't a cherokees rear axle be the same as doing a soa to a stock mjs rear axle? Or are the perches a different width? Google'd this for 10 min and found nothing... I'm surprised... guessing there's a reason not though... thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Perches are different. The Mj perches sit farther outboard than the XJ, they would need to be cut off and welded in the correct position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL... thanks fellas on-road structural integrity is usually more important. stress and force can be higher due to the higher speeds involved and no one else's life is in danger should your rear axle let go on a dirt hill. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 :cheers: you can get some beefy perches from Mopar for like $15. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I know... I'm just messing... probly go with rough stuffs again... was heavy duty for the price... I use their perches and shock mounts also. 1/4" steel may be overkill, but rather that than something that might fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going with a 6.2 diesel in the Xj so there's gonna be a lot of torque... on everything... so I'm planning to use only there stuff... diff covers are nuts too... wish they would have included them in that magazines article on bulletproof diff covers...
