Default Spring Designations

My searching here and on the interweb has failed me.
I'm looking to replace my stock rear leafs on my 96 XJ.
My build sheet says AWE Up Country Suspension Group.
The parts catalogue lists codes such as ZVS, ZGS, ZVT ,ZGT and so on.
These codes are not on my build sheet...so where does one find these codes?
Are they stamped on the springs?


Thanks.

Really? http://www.factorychryslerparts.com/...4886187AB.html
But seriously, OEM will just sag quickly.

Unless I'm overlooking something, that doesn't help him. It doesn't list the AWE RPO code or "Up Country" anywhere on that page. It just lists all the other acronyms that he was confused about. And I really doubt those are Up Country spec replacements if they fit 118 XJ variants from '84-96.

I know the upcountry Cherokees came with a suspension package that was a 1" lift. So if you want a factory like suspension just get some 1" lift Cherokee rear leafs.

Thanks for the responses.
NewKindofClown hit pretty close, and I guess I wasn't clear in my post.


My question is really two fold.
1. Where do you find the ZVS, ZGS, ZVT ,ZGT and so on...is it stamped on the springs? Is it on a body tag that I have not found yet? It's not on my build sheet, door tag or owners manual.
2. At 219,000 miles my 96 XJ is a survivor. Still bone stock (read: SE stock, nothing but the essentials) and the rear is only sagging about an inch from where it should be. I want to put it back to where the factory had it...so I am trying to get the correct springs for it.


The parts catalogue and online web sites all list those "Z" codes but I don't know where to match those codes to my vehicle.

I found this through a search. I can't verify its validity, but the guy said he got the numbers at his local dealership:

UpCountry suspension
Front Coil #52001794 Code ZVL/ZGL
Rear Leafs #52002392AB Code ZGW/ZVW

OK, sorry for the lame response earlier. Idk where to find code on the leaf itself. I think it's more of a part number for cataloguing inventory. I don't think it's listed in build sheet as such.

Just for clarification- do you have the UC package? Skid plates and a d35 with LSD?

With regular maintenance she'll got to 300k. I'll bet it runs pretty smooth!

Here is a more relevant link. I think it will clarify more about what the product numbers and codes are, as well as the ZVS, etc. codes.

Would someone post a picture of a 242 transfer case stock linkage assembly in the 2 wheel drive position, please?

Im having issues with reinstalling it after I removed the linkage to replace my flexplate. I dont know if I have the metal tab on the TC itself right.

Those letters are the Chrysler sales codes.

Look through this giant list you'll find them - for what it's worth.


See if these sales codes appear on your build sheet.
