Alright guys I have a 98 Jeep Cherokee ZJ and was wanting to put a 2000 Grand Cherokee Dash in it is it possible

It would be a huge huge job and a wiring nightmare to get it to work.Whats wrong with your dash or the reason you want to swap it ?

If you're talking about the white backlit gauges, they are photoluminesent and require a power supply as well. Not something done easily.

I bought this jeep for 500$ and interior is shot I need to put a dash in either way I just like the 2000 model cause duel climate the top part of the dash. Just more sleek look.

You're talking about the ENTIRE dash! WAY too much work. The WJ is wider than the ZJ and the dual climate heater is controlled by the body module. Everything is different and chances are you'll never get it right. Even the distance from the windshield to the front of the dash is different. I thought you just meant the cluster.

Damn that sucks. How about lifting the jeep to fit 38s right now it's rigged with ford Springs and tube in between the spring and body to clear 35. Is there a way to leaf spring it. Or cheap way without spending thousands of dollars

dave1123

Are you serious or are you just having fun. 38s? for cheap? I think not.

andrewmp6

To run 38s you need 1 ton axles and a bigger lift both will not be cheap at all.

I have 3/4 ton axles to put under just don't think I would be able to leaf spring it. The 38s I have are on 8 lugs. My plan is to weld brackets for leaf Springs but being a uni body don't think I have room

3/4 ton are only good tell 37s and the front axle is really a 1/2 ton axle they made a 8 lug.You need 1 ton axles or get use to changing axles hubs and maybe a diff or two.Leaf springs are more work then they are worth and if you want a crawler coils and links will out flex them.You can buy weld on brackets front and rear for any swap axle from a few places online.
