benjy_26 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 That's actually why I'm interested in the shackles. I plan on redoing the bushings and cleaning up my stock springs while I get myself either some 3" lift leaves or aome new MT packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87Warrior Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 BTW, what are you replacing your pads with?EBay has the square pads. I believe BDS also sells them. I used some GM pads from eBay when I added a MJ main AAL. Luckily I had a few good used MJ pads from another pack to replace to worn out pads.

Eagle Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I vaguely remember some discussion of the rear springs from the old, full-size Cherokee/Grand Wagoneer, which were SOA from the factory and had a fairly flat arch. Don't recall if they have the same length as MJ springs. Does anyone have specs for those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incommando Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I vaguely remember some discussion of the rear springs from the old, full-size Cherokee/Grand Wagoneer, which were SOA from the factory and had a fairly flat arch. Don't recall if they have the same length as MJ springs. Does anyone have specs for those? I believe they are the exact same length but IIRC the center pin location is pretty off.

Don't recall if they have the same length as MJ springs. Does anyone have specs for those? I remember this as well from several years ago, and I think they were pretty spot on. I'm in the same boat, but can't remember all the specifics on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockfrog Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 They are the same length, but 3/4" out on the pin. 25 1/4" x 31 3/4" as opposed to the stock MJ's 26" x 31" They would shift the rear axle 3/4" forward, a new spring plate (or just a new hole) And either new perches or redrilled would solve that though.

dankicksass Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 BTW, what are you replacing your pads with?I used Chevy 99+ round pads with silicone rubber inserts. I got them from Dorman for about $5 a pair, I have 4-leafs so it was $30. I trimmed the retainer barbs on the Chevy pads to fit the Jeep springs with a utility knife, was very easy.
