hey guys i have an 88 cherokee and the leaf spring mounts on both sides are rusted and rotted not the shackles or the shackle mounts but the other mounts. does anyone know how i can repair this and if anyone has done this can i see some pics

 

if its fully rusted it out, either find another jeep or you will have to plate the unibody and put in custom brackets to it

 

Do you have any pictures of your rusty problem?

 

i can get pictures tomorrow when its light out. the problem is the floor where it mounts but ya ill get pics up in the morning thanks

 

it could be too rusted so im think finding another xj to play with

 

^^ Never give up on an XJ! A little rust=some metal work

thanks reefman i was trying to find something like that sorry guys i couldnt get pictures..i keep getting error messages but ya ill never give up on it

 

I bought a OEM spring hanger at the Dodge dealer and installed it and built up both sides and tied them together on top side, been good for 3 yrs. of hard wheelin.

 

I want to start again on this. My leaf spring mounts are rustedpretty bad isthis fixable? The rot goes all the way to the side of the jeep like where the door is. Here's some pictures of the problem. Any help is really appreciated.

 

completely remove and convert to coil sprung rear? good excuse to do so haha. I had a 87 2dr that was like that and i cut out all of the rotted metal and since i'm not a great welder had my friends dad weld in lil pieces of new floor and then made custom mounts out of i think it was 1/4" plate and we somehow bolted it in so it was removable but i cant quite remember how we did that part. was like 2yrs ago and it got impounded for bad reg.

 

Well the impound sucks. But ya I thought I could use it as an excuse for a 4 link haha

 

mmmmm truss a stock axle and set up a coil conversion in the rear because your leaf mounts are rusted? I'd hope not

 

I'm doin it to mine regardless of rust or not. tired of dealing with my lack of rear flex. and front for that matter. needs a long arm kit bad.

 

Ya they're rusted
