So, when I got my 99 cherokee it turns out it was a 2 inch lift on it, spacers on the front, add a leaf on the back...
I am putting a winch and bumper on the front, there is a roof rack with my spare on the back,,, here is how it appears now...


today I got another set of leafs from a 99 sport like mine, ex condition. also got a set of 3 inch front coils. I am thinking of putting on the 3 inch springs with the 2 inch spacers on the front, and building a 7 leaf pack for the rear out of the two sets of springs I have.

the truck is a camping truck, expedition style,,, not a rock crawler as most build.... How do you think this suspension will come out, and what all will I need to make it work? I am thinking new centering pins, shocks, u bolts, etc...

any input is appreciated.

Upper and lower arms. track bar. brake lines. SYE or cross-member drop. The upper arms and the brake lines you might be able to get buy without but the rest you need!!!!!!!!!!

I have a tcase drop in it now, and I think I can get away with the brakelines,,, will have to save up on the track bar, upper and lower arms, and track bar!

Simply stacking more leafs won't do much. You need ones that were designed with greater arch. Using Chevrolet S-10/Blazer springs or Dodge Dakota springs seems to achieve the greatest amount of difference, without sacrificing too much ride quality.

ok, I would just gain the thickness of the extra leafs in height,,, and maybe a little more carrying capacity?

73-87 chevy 48 inch rear springs redrill the centering pin 3 inches forward and bolt in 7.5 lift rides good btw take th over laod out and jeep leafs are weak

ok, so I can go with the 3 inch coils in the front,, adding the spacer and accounting for droop should net me around 4 to 4.5 inches...
in the back I could use the good spring pack with the add a leaf for a 2 inch lift, plus a pair of 2 inch lift shackles from rough country or such,,, should about level out the springs front and rear...
so then I need an adjustable track bar for 4-6 inches of lift, and , upper and lower arms for the same amount of lift (4.5 inch persay) is this correct?
oh yeah and a pitman arm as well i assume

I have a writeup on those S10 Bastard packs. They are a little bit stiffer than stock but the ride isnt too bad, also it gets 4.5 inches of lift.
