if your spring is broken, a bastard pack with dakota leafs will do you no good. How are you lifted 4" in the back? Shackles and blocks? that would explain why your leaf pack broke.
You need to either grab two sets of springs from the JY (stock and dakota) and make a bastard pack, or just buy some new lifting springs.

dakota springs won't work by themselves - too long and wrong center pin location. You need either a new full lift pack, or new stock springs for the AAL. I would recommend a full leaf pack. Ride and performance will be MUCH better.
Again, thanks.

Yes, unplug it and swap it out if need be.

I just bought a 98 jeep cherokee the truck doesn't start though ... when you turn the key all the dash lights come on and but when you turn the key the starter does not engage ... i know its not the starter because if you jump the starter with a screw driver the truck turns right on and runs great.
So i was told its possibly an inline fuse that goes from the fuse box down to the starter just wanted to see if there was any other possibilities?
