Strokermjcomanche Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 88 Mj Swb with metric ton springs . As the title states I'm looking for the leaf spring retainer plates where the ubolts run through . Or I would also take the newer 91-92 plates that are designed differently . I'm switching from a d35 to a C8.25 , I know I can probably enlarge the holes to make it work but want to just replace the plates . Let me know what you have and thanks in advance !! Here is a thread showing what I'm looking for ... http://comancheclub.com/topic/45659-rear-axle-shock-mounting-plate-question/?fromsearch=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strokermjcomanche Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Thanks for the link Don . What I'm wondering is ( since I can't find the other plate ) are the plates a mirror of each-other? The seller on eBay has two of the same side and I was seeing if I could adapt one to fit the other side . Or it would be nice if someone had a pair to sell ...

HOrnbrod Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Yes, mirror images because of the shock stud. I found plenty of the 52004845 plates, but no 52004844's. Weird. Part numbers: 52001832 & 52001833 (1987-89) (Needs the reinforcement plates too)52004844 & 52004845 (1990-92) OR you could always go aftermarket with something like these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91Pioneer Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Do you have a spot to drill a hole and mount this? http://amzn.to/1nGTz59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Do you have a spot to drill a hole and mount this? http://amzn.to/1nGTz59 I don't have the actual plates that I will be using with the 8.25 , so I can't confirm that there is a place to mount the shock bolt . That was my intent in asking if I could use two of the same side plates . Your plates in the video are the same as what I have and I don't like the fact of elongating the holes on the plates and having very little material left . The d35 tubes are considerably smaller than the C8.25 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of modifying ( if any ) needs to be done ? I'm staying SUA and these are holding me up from finishing bolting the axle in place and being able to move the truck . Thanks in advance .

Strokermjcomanche Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Here's one side for the newer plates: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Jeep-CHRYSLER-OEM-86-92-Comanche-Rear-Suspension-U-bolt-Mount-Plate-52004845-/131397061629?hash=item1e97e00bfd:g:zv4AAOSwu4BVxw4r&vxp=mtr The other side is p/n 52004844. So I bought this^^ plate ( along with another sellers plate of this same side to adapt for the left side ) and the package arrived in the mail a couple days ago . I went to bring it inside and noticed the box was rather light , that's because he sent an empty box !!!!!!!! It was all sealed and the label said the shipping weight was 0 LBS 5 OZ . I contacted him and he said that he's not in the business of shipping empty boxes and obviously he shipped it to me and acted like I was ripping him off . Anyone have access to either side of these plates? Everywhere I've checked has said it's discontinued . Thanks again . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockfrog Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 How did you pay? Open a dispute with eBay, and with PayPal if that's what you used. Otherwise contact your credit card company to reverse charges if you paid that way. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Thanks Rockfrog , I used paypal so I'm guaranteed .I will get my money back ,that I promise . I'm just trying to get this truck drivable by Thursday for Bantams jeep Festival . If all else fails I might try to adapt the d35 plate to work until I can find the correct one .

HOrnbrod Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Check these out Adam. The price is right, it's for 2-1/2" W springs, and the shock bolt you supply is 1/2". Plus they are beefy at 1/4" thick metal. If they fit your u-bolt pattern (they should given the dimensions), I don't see any reason why they won't work with MJ springs. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speedway-Leaf-Spring-Lower-Shock-Mounting-Plate,3528.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
