need advice on suspension
I have a 1998 jeep.cherokee classic and my suspension is completely rusted out. Im kind of a noob when it comes to the exterior of cars so if u could keep your answers simple that would be great. But my problem is I have almost two hundred ponds of subwoofers in the trunk and my back end sits lower than the front. What is the cheapest way I can fix that?

You may wanna look into stepping up a bit with brackets called shakles that'll add some extra boost.

I'm on the second hand end of this issue. Guy before me had big box with 2 12"s in it and my rear leafs are shot. I'm looking for OEM replacements but don't know where to go to get a good deal.

Try Quadratec or 4WheelParts. Some HD Stock replacement springs should do good for you. HD spring typically give about 1" lift. With the 200lb air mover you have, it should level thing out.

I had the leaf springs replaced and they put in a new pair of shocks in for free! They also replaced the antisway bar. They said it was broken and they acted like that was a big deal. Idk but it rides so much better and it finals sits level. Thnx.

When I built my Sentra SE-R for auto-X I upgraded them to reduce chassis flex and now all I see here are guys getting rid of them to increase the flex for off-roading.

If your rear leaf springs are shot replace them, or you can add a leaf spring shackle. If you have that much weight do a 5in lift in the front with any kit and for the back do new leaf springs and a shackle
