btrjeep Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I just bought a 88 comanche today and it has a broken rear leaf spring. I was wondering if Xj rear leaf were the same length. I have a set of xj lift springs that i thought i could spring the comanche over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 no. MJ springs are longer, and they have much more arch because an MJ is SUA. try looking at S10 springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 car-part.com might be able to help you find MJ leafpacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I just bought a 88 comanche today and it has a broken rear leaf spring. I was wondering if Xj rear leaf were the same length. I have a set of xj lift springs that i thought i could spring the comanche over with. Which leaf is broken? If it isn't the main leaf, you could use XJ leaves to replace the broken leaf and the corresponding on on the other side. Maybe toss in another XJ leaf on each side (perhaps the main leaf with the eyes cut off) if you need still more lift than the SOA gives you. If you replace an MJ leaf (maybe #2?) with an XJ leaf of the same length, you will lose a bit of height because XJ springs are designed to sit flat at XJ curb weight.
