Dunno if "leafed" is a real word but it was the best one I could think of at the time... Im seriously considering trading my 2000 Xj thats stock for a 95... This one to be exact 1995 Jeep Cherokee

The 95 needs a rear shock mount/shock and its got leafs all the way around out of a 1 ton... What down sizes are there to it having full leafs? Just ride quality and maybe a little bit of flex lost?

 

Downside-Not as much flex

Upside-No death wobble

 

Sounds good to me then

With that set up I also dont need sway bars

 

You don't need swaybars anyway

Does the Jeep have tons swapped in it?

 

Yeah... D60 rear and D44 front... You can see everything in the add...

 

the front 44 is actually a 3/4 ton, not a 1 ton axle....but still full width and much stronger than a D30

 

Oh, another upside - FULL WIDTH!!

 

ad says it will take alot to get it back on the road. so hope you your stock 2000 isn't your daily driver.

sounds like a good start to building a nice jeep. i've seen a few front leaf swaps done, and they flex pretty good.

don't know what he means by 1 ton shocks...

if you're looking for something to get into some hardcore wheeling, and you want to skip building from scratch, this could be a good choice.

 

X2....and dont forget you'll need a trailer to take it everywhere!

 

The only reason he said it would take a lot to get it back on the road was because its not inspection worthy, I dont have to do inspections so Im good... I think that he put in shocks out of a 1 ton truck (those would be replaced, probably by bilsteins)

Only thing that is truly wrong with it is floor pan rust (needs sheet welded in) Needs new shocks (Only one but Im going to replace all)... It needs a shock mount in the rear and it needs a window motor.

My XJ is a dd but my JK is too so I dont need this to dd.

 

If you think leaf sprung rigs don't/can't get death woble...

Then you really need to get your Thinker fixed.

 

Heck even my IFS 2wd Chevy truck got death wobble.

The XJ looks good... I would be willing to bet that the rear Dana 60 is a semi floating 3/4 ton version as well....

 

This guy is from pirate4x4, he has a build thread on there. I was keepin track of it from the get go and he did a clean job on it.

 

Any links?

 

Finding a specific cherokee on tons on pirate4x4 is next to impossible, almost every member has one.

Ill look around for it again
