Finding Quality Parts???
I just bought a 1999 Limited Cherokee. I am looking for a few things. I am looking for new tan leather seat and seat heater. I have not been able to find any. I am replacing all the suspension with stock stuff or like it for springs front and rear. Where should I order these from? Also a headliner either the whole thing or the material. I want to make the jeep look brand new inside! Thank you for your help.

springs don't ever need to be replaced unless they break. you should be far more concerned with shocks and steering/suspension bushings. Take it it a good shop and have them inspect all of the bushings to see which ones need replacing. No sense replacing something what still works fine. Stick with rubber bushings (not Polyurethane) if you want to keep the stock ride feel with no squeaks. I usually go with Advance Auto or Napa parts for OEM quality.
The seats you're going to have to find at a junkyard. That's your only option.

I wanted to put fresh springs on it because it has been sitting its whole life you know. My friend just bought a limited and he put all new suspension on his and it sits about an 1-1.5 inches taller than mine, and rides much smoother and less body roll. That is why I wanted to replace them. I just bought new Bilstein shocks so just wanted to do all the suspension then under coat it so no rust happens.

check out Old Man Emu. They specialize in small lifts with better than stock ride quality.

might. Most stock length shocks are good for up to 2" lift. You should be fine if you're not flexing them out on trails.

Well I bought eh 1.5" old man emu kit all new shocks OME again and all the oem suspension bushings for the entire car. I then bought the stablizer for the steering OME new bfg 30x9.5 tires. Next week I am pulling the seat apart seeing if i can fix the stock seat heater and then fixing a few of the little rips and tears in the seats. I am excited to see how she handles.
