I hav e been suspecting the alt was going cuz theres a constant shhhh sound when driving and a low whirring noise when im stopped but when the starter went I was told they cant both go bad at the same time so I figured it was ok

What's the free arch of stock XJ springs? I have a set on my parts jeep that may be better than what's on my 99. But there's a lot of parts and body missing and no wheels on it. I think the only way I could measure them is to take them off and check free arch. Any insights?

A better question does proper free arch measurement, if I measure it and its spot on, does that even mean it wont be saggy? Or is the only way to tell with weight on it?

The only way to tell is to get some weight on it or find some part number (fat chance, I know).

I can put some parts for the weight lost back in. Isn't there a way to measure from axle to frame rails? Then compare it to stock?

How easy would it be to swap turn signal lens? Mine are cracked and filled with dirt and I can't tell that there on lol. Sure I need new bulbs to. And can I go to a brighter bulb? If so what kind?
