Tires/Wheels
I stopped in one of the Local junk yards that like to keep alot of Jeep's yesterday. I got to looking at some tires I liked but they were 16" tires. I looked in the pile and found 2 16" wheels from a 00+ XJ which are pretty hard to find. Then I found a cherokee with 3 good ones on it. I ended up getting 4 wheels and the Wrangler MT/R tires. The tires where in pretty good shape but far from new. So I got 16" wheels and tires for 175.00 installed
Tires are 245/75/16

Man I am so jealous of you yanks. If a local JY had those he'd want $175 A WHEEL! and $100 a tire. They think their stuff is as good as dealer new.
And thats ALL of them in Ontario. Some kind of collusion going on here!

You may have some loose ubolts holding the axle to the springs. I had this problem on a 77 MG Midget I once owned. It was so loose it was like a rear steer car. Lots of fun. Real easy fix though. You should be able to handle this with a jack and a couple of jack stands.

Yeah, I bet that was fun
I guess all the leafs have the lining holes in them right? So I just need to line them all up and get me a bolt or pin to slide down through all them into the lift block right? I think I can handle it!
