They made the ZJ from 93-98
Does anyone know if WJ springs will fit??????
Wiki says that the zj and wj only have 127 of the same parts.

Fort Riley, Kansas!
When I was stationed in Kansas they junk yards only held stuff 10 years old unless it was a pickup, or something that was a classic, then they sold that to Easy Jack. The last year of the ZJ was a 98 so.........
I called a couple of junk yards around here and one of them had one cherokee.......I gotta keep hunting, maybe all I'll find is a WJ you know????
Oh and I'm in SoCal, land of the lifted 2wd. I actually almost had some ZJ springs the guy did his lift with new springs at the CraftShop on post, but I got there too late they already dumped the scrap metal. Everyone lifts everything here so I might find someone who is lifting thier WJ and get old springs.
So there are places that would have a WJ, that wouldn't have a ZJ.......
Do you know if WJ springs will work?

I wish i did know cause your not the first person to ask me. I was saying not being able to find a WJ in a J/Y because I would be very jealous if you did find one. If you do find a WJ in a J/Y though grab the front D30 and steering setup along with the front springs. It is a superior style over our y-link setup and is better than most after market setups as well.
Here some differences between ZJ's and WJ's. I got to work in the morn so I'll let you read through it. Post up if you find some info in there.

nnoooooo.... not trying to be a smart butt... im for real... thats what i would do if i wanted to know... ive always wondered if there was a different leaf pack that would fit under the XJ and lift it up a bit... plan on going to the junk yard and measuring myself... but you probly wont find a WJ in the JY so i would go to walmart if i wanted to know... its not against the law to measure cars...
