GirsMJ86 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 how many rear leafs are under mjs? my 88 2wd has 3 and an overload. my 86 4x4 has 4 and an overload. so i was just wondering if there was any reason my 86 had one more. or is it just because its a long bed 4x4? also what did the metric tons have under them? alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Metric tonnes have 4+1. All others have 3+1. But plenty can happen over 20 years in the way of alterations. What axle is under the 86? Jeep on! --Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Looks to me like there's an extra leaf added right below the main leaf. Jeep on! --Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 hey thx i thought when i looked under it today something wasnt adding up right for the rear leafs. i thought that the 4+1 was metric mj only. who knows maybe it was added at the dealer or maybe somewhere after. I'm the 3rd owner so i don't know all the mods done to it xcept for the engine mods. thx alot. alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heralue Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 This is my MJ -88. Next week the axel will be under the spring :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Mine had 4+ the overload, and mine was stock. So I don't know what that means :? But know I am running 7 leaves :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 are there two different mounting positions for shocks on MJ rears? I could swear my shocks are mounted behind the axle, not in front. Those pics just looked strange to me, with the shocks in front of the axle, and I don't have my truck here with me to look at right now.....it's sorta driving me crazy :twisted: Anyone know?

Pete M Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I believe that longbed shocks are in front of the axle and shortbeds are behind. Jeep on! --Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
