Possibly UCA as well? They were different on my '88 MJ.
Yup pretty close. Reusing for LCAs depends on the brand of bolt. The spec is actually 110MM for those, my 120MMs didn't have enough thread to actually tighten all the way. Yay hardened washers

UCAs are M10x1.5 75MM, same as track bar to axle.

The handles themselves should be the same, but I think the linkages inside the doors are different. Doesn't sound like a problem for your application.

Cut the head off of the bolt.

Yep. Cut the bastards with a Dremel and replace them. Loosely spinning bolts indicate that someone already tackled the OE bolts some time in the past.

Anyone know if the door check arms are same for all years? I assume passenger/driver is same, front/rear is different.

Okay I have a question.... I own a 2000 jeep cherokee limited 4.0L. I'm having misfire issues. I would go on a short trip but long enough to warm up the engine. When I shut off the engine and go to restart it after a few minute cool down I go to restart it idle really rough and I shot me a CEL of p300 and p301-304. I' replaced spark plugs and see how the fuel injectors look tomorrow. I looked around and couldn't find anything on the internet saying the same codes mine gave me. Any help would help?

Heat soak! Chrysler released a TSB to this effect. Basically once the fans up front start spinning, the residual heat from the exhaust system boils the gas in the fuel injectors. The official fix is some insulation wrapped injectors 3 and 4, but do yourself a favor and just wrap the entire intake, all injectors, and the fuel rail in heat insulation.
