If the front 2 mounting feet are close to vertical, they are probably from a 95-01 XJ. Or they could be from a Grand Cherokee (ZJ), I have no idea if 91 ZJ seats fit in any XJs, and a lot of people don't know the differnece between Grands and "regular", "box", or "square" Cherokees

Sounds like the dealer guy was wrong. Go back and exchange them.

they're pulling your leg. zj grand cherokee didn't come out till 93.
and if your new seats bolt in from the front, they're either out of a 93+ zj or 95+ xj.
