Hi I am new to the forum and new to jeeps. I just bought a 99 xj at the beginning of July and got to looking at the rear leaf springs. My question is are they suppose to be flat or should I get new ones? From all the leaf springs I have had on vehicles they have quite a bit of curve to them but didn't know with this one. Also if I do need new ones what is the best ones for the price?

Thanks

 

They should have some curvature, they are more than likely just sagging from age. Quadratec has replacements pretty cheap. If your looking to lift your rig and want good springs go with OME (old man emu).

 

Get out the tape measure. "Stock Cherokee measurements are 17.5" for the front and 17" for the rear when measured from the center of the wheel hub to the bottom of the stock fender flare."

There are multiple options after you figure out where you are at, short and long add a leaf, new leafs, bastard packs, shackle extensions etc. depending on how much money you want to spend, how high you want to go and what you want the ride to be like.
