Looking for suggestions on my jeep
Hey I was hoping i can get some ideas from you guys on the best way to deal with a suspension issue. Recently installed new shocks and springs all the way around. The front coil was replaced with a heavy duty coil that raises the front end much higher than the stock coils would -then I replaced the leaf springs in the rears with oem leaf springs - yes i have a slight decline from front to back-Im going to be putting alot of weight in the rear of the truck for work and dont want to kill the new springs as i said they already sit lower in the back. what is the best ways to deal with this problem . the jeep is a cherokee 1991 limited abs . thanks

Helper springs if you are going to be hauling alot of weight. Don't let anyone talk you into shackle extension to get the back end up if you plan on extra weight. Try some heavy spring leaves from a 3/4 ton pickup added to the OEM springs. the ride empty will be harsh but with added weight it won't be bad.

I have seen those on 2WD Cherokees but never saw them employed on a 4WD Cherokee. The ones I saw were on a truck that carried house painters and their ladders while the cargo area was filled with paint cans and buckets plus tarps and painting gear.
