AFAIK, any jeep seat cushion style will bolt to your base track with 4 studs on the top of the tracks. 1/2" nuts. Where you can get into trouble is the tracks and floor pans change over time and models. I currently have a 96 Cherokee high back seat in my 2000 Grand Cherokee because the door side bolster broke and it was the driver's seat. The floor pans are totally different and the bolt pattern on the floor is different, but the seat cushion assembly bolted to my seat tracks perfectly. Manual or power seats don't matter either. The 4 holes in the seat pan fit the studs. You may have to play games with the plastic side panels however, like for power seat switches. IDK about the rear seats because my 2000 Cherokee doesn't have rear head rests. I haven't looked closely at them to see of there are holes for them either. My front seats are high backed.
