Ive posted this several times before, but there are new members since i have, and some people just havent seen it. It shows a lot of compatable parts that will fit into our XJ's if you dont want to buy new. I know im getting the ZJ pitman arm to go with the new 4 inch lift im getting
If anyone has anything they want to add please do, itll help someone.

Suspension & Lift:
1. ZJ V8 Upcountry Coils = 1-1.5" lift
2. F-150/Bronco Coils ('79-ish) = 4-4.5" lift
3. S10 leaf packs (cut eyes off S10 main and bolt pack under XJ main) = 3-4" lift
4. JK shocks = slight mod to fit 2-4" lift
5. MJ Shackles = 1/2" lift
6. Camaro Spring Isolators = 1.5" lift
Brakes:
1. WJ brake booster
2. WJ Master Cylinder
3. YJ Brake Lines = 3-4" longer
4. Dodge Ram Van Brake Lines = 10-12" longer (for big lifts)
5. WJ Rotors/Calipers = bigger brakes and more stopping power (will fit 15" rims)
Axles:
1. Ford 8.8 inch ('97+) = need spring & shock mounts (4.10, LSD, Disc Brakes)
2. XJ I-4 & V6 = 4.10 gears (some have 4.56) may have vacuum discos
3. 97+ XJ C8.25 = bolt in and upgrades to 29 spline (strength comparable to D44)
Front End & Steering:
1. ZJ V8 Tierods = beefier & bolt in
2. WJ Knuckles/Tierods/Draglinks = beefier and crossover steering
3. Durango Steering Box = beefier
4. 350 or 351 Power Steering Pump = helps with oversize tires (requires welding)
5. WJ LCA's = more tire clearance (some grinding required)
6. ZJ pitman arm = 1 inch drop over stock
7. WJ rear LCA's = replace XJ front LCA's, 2" longer to accomodate a lift, some grinding required
Engine Performance:
1. Newer XJ intakes (may require some modification)
2. Mustang 5.0 Injectors = bolt in (have 4 holes instead of 1, more fuel, better spray)
3. ZJ V8 alternator = more power to run accessories (some grinding required)
4. Taurus Dual Electric Fans ('96-98) = replaces mechanical fan, better cooling
5. Z34 lumina hood vents
Other:
1. '94+ V6 Dakota AX-15 = bolt in (but must use XJ bellhousing)
2. Lebaron or laser hood vents = help keep ur 4.0 cool
4. MJ Bucket seats = tilt forward, bolt in to at least older XJ's
5. ZJ gas tank skid = can be modified to fit 97+
6. ZJ and WJ stock tranny coolers with stacked plates (even an upgrade for us with the stock fin style)
7. GM power antennas replace your broken XJ's with little modification
8. 5spd crossmembers give 3/4 inch tcase drop on autos with no loss in ground clearance
9. You can convert the closed system to open without replacing your radiator by using the fill cap from a 4.7 durango or dakota, cutting it into your upper hose, and replace your bottle with an Mj overflow tank or any that fit. Then cap off or eliminate the T'ed lines in the heater core.
10. XJ '97+ doors onto older cherokees = one piece windows and better mirrors

Thanks for the list. I am new here and did not see it now i have it.

BLACKSPORT

nice list, i have seen most of these through out my cherokee life (last 2 years lol) but this is great to have it all in one place. remember the neon 703 injectors for the 97s and others but i know for sure the 97s and that the seating from the grand cherokees fit the 95 and up cherokees. Once again need to find the exact years but i believe the zjs and the wjs do fit with some modding.

Tural

good list. some of the things i didn't know appreciate it.
might hit u up with some questions about the WJ brake setup.

Dwinthrup

Might be useful to say what an MJ, YJ, ZJ, WJ, and JK are, also what years might help. Also why is this not a sticky?

redmuck

yea great list! wish i can find cheap rustfree 97+ doors for mine.

DUDE454

TJ XJ WJ and ZJ all do show the years, like a WJ is a 99+ grand cherokee and ZJ is a grandcherokee before then.

KJ Liberty's use the same 8.25 rear axle as the XJ's with them. Direct bolt on swap for disc brakes if you have the 8.25 rear axle. Just grab it all back to the backing plate and slide it on. I'm searching the local yards now to do this on my rig.

Thanks for the initial list mate. Those Jeep Parts and Jeep Accessories in tab are just what I needed and was just looking into right now.
