I dont know about ranger springs but I know f-150 springs only give you about 2 inches on an xj and when I was at the jy measuring springs the ranger springs were the same length as the f-150 but not as heavy. Unless he got them from the older style full size ranger in wich case im not sure.

They will work, not sure how much lift it will give you though. and f150 springs give you 3" but they are very stiff for a cherokee, and you need the ones out of a 73-79 f150
