Has anyone bought new stock height leaf springs lately?
I noticed one of my leafs was really bent up, like an S shape in front. I have about 7 inches of lift, stock leafs with a spring over in the rear. I'm surprised they have lasted as long as they have with 35s. I am not finding them anywhere, except at some obscure sites that I would have to call to see if they really exist. Not like cherokee where there are loads of them from dorman and the like.
Its on a 94 xj I just picked up. I pulled the interior out to weld in new floors, and am putting it back together. There is a wire coming off the wiring harness that runs along the floor boards on both sides with a 2 terminal plug pigtail right where the seatbelt retractors are. I can't remember what it went to, doesn't look like there is a spot on the seat belt retractor to plug it in. Anyone know?
I am not talking about the pigtail that goes to the female end of the seatbelt on top of the tunnel.
Great info, thanks! so 90 and up same calipers, just the mid 99 rotor and hub change. So the rotor has to match the hub or vice versa.
I believe 2wd and 4wd rotors and calipers of the same type are interchangeable also, since I have scrapped 2wd xjs and after noticing newer rotors I swap the rotors calipers and pads over to keepers.
I have a dana 30 from a 99 xj, was going to use in my MJ, however the rotors are different. Non abs.
Are the spindles rotors and calipers different than the earlier xj front axles?
Are the axle shafts the same, interchangeable with my 92 mj?
Are there any good fitting factory style rocker panels out there? I want to go with a stock replacement and weld them on. I was looking at the Cherokee ones and they look like they would needs lots of mods and fab to get them to work. One of mine was fixed in the past with bent sheet metal and is terrible.

One side of my Comanche has a rocker repair, basically bent sheet metal bondoed on the rocker and welded underneath. Its horrible. I have to replace the rocker, can't patch over it like a rusted factory rocker. Are there any usable ones out there now?
Yes, with springovers in YJ and Comanche. I buy a set of ladder bars, and mount them, just one, as close to the pumpkin as possible, with bar stock and heilm joints at the front. Look at the kits for YJ and you can fab one up. Wheel hop is gone.
My MJ needs rockers. The aftermarket ones are way off. I have a 4 door xj, they look the same, but of course longer and different at the back. Will the xj ones work assuming some fabbing at the back?
