Rear leaf spring

[Caspar]

Hi,
My name is Caspar and I live in Norway, a small country in Scandinavia with only about 6 million people. I am currently rebuilding a Cherokee XJ with an LS engine, and I have also recently acquired a short-bed 4x4 MJ. There are only 14 of them in Norway. I ordered a list from the DMV and called all the owners.

The vehicle I bought has been unregistered for five years, so it has to go through a technical inspection before I can register it again. During this inspection, I received a remark stating that the vehicle appears to be equipped with a lift kit.

What I am wondering is whether anyone can help me find the stock measurement from the rear leaf spring up to the rubber bump stop on the frame. On my vehicle this distance is 18 cm, which I believe is more than stock.

Welcome, glad you found us. When you get a chance please post its VIN in the Registry section.

Sorry, my 4x4 is lifted and the others are 2WD.

Browse to your MJ’s year.

There at least 3 different bump stop heights so that measurement will vary based on which one you have. The factory measured the distance from the top of the axle tube to the bottom of the frame and should be as indicated in the pic below .

Are your springs over or under the axle? Stock configuration for the Comanche is under, not like the picture above.

THATS WHAT THE LETTER CODE MEANS?

Yes they reused the Cherokee pic for the Comanche specs. But the numbers are correct.

Looks like your Jeep is spring over axle in the rear, like an XJ is. Comanches are supposed to have the spring under the axle.
