Yeah those leaf springs make a great flexing ride on flat land but in a boulder field you need a real Jeep, an XJ. I like them too but don't tell anybody.
Owning a YJ is like peeing in your pants everyone can see it but only you can feel the warmth! LOL

Year: 1988 (all of them)
Model: Cherokee
Engine: 4.0, 4.6, and wore-out 4.0
For down and dirty rear disc on a Chrys. 8 1/4, go find a ZJ with ABS. The brakes come right off of there and go right on to a 8 1/4. The ZJ with ABS was equipped with a D35, as a side note. Late model Stupid Duty Fords (250 model), the rear sway bar links are good on the front of the XJ for about a 4-8" lift. ALOT stouter too. As for the front axle U-joints, the bigger joint came out around '88-89 models with ABS, otherwise pretty much anything after the middle of '95 is a good bet. I am running the whole front from an '88 production '89 model that HAD ABS, I just threw out the sensors. The axle stub is the same as all the others, just knock off the tone ring if you don't want it.

ZJ Ninja Here
Yes all ZJ's 93-98 got the 318 as a option. And and in '98 you could also get the ZJ with the 360.....
Something else that is a great mod is you can use WJ knucks on TJ, XJ, ZJ and YJ and it give you hi-steer and bigger brakes.
And as for the leafs added for lift Add Bronco II and Explorers there a stiffer rate gain larger lift than the other. (If I remember right the BII pack add almost 7" of lift)
