Tried it, nothing changes. Check my thread out if you want, it's starting to frustrate the hell outta me. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/dri...-issue-198479/

3rd leaf spring swap in about a year and a half. Can't say I'm a fan of rough country. But they keep sending me new ones so I guess it's all good.

Brake work (new drums/shoes-not that it really needed that,but I was doing the front too,so...-rotors ad ceramic pads),full servicing of all fluids (cooling system,tranny,oil,etc) with full synthetics,(finally) replaced the worn facotry front speakers (with rear-matching Kicker components,I've had the rears for months now),swapped in an Optima Yellow Top battery,and ordered up a roof rack from the 'net

What keeps happening that you need to swap out the whole spring?

The bushings go out. As to why, I have no idea. But I'd go through just as much trouble swapping the bushings.

I just haven't had good luck I suppose, I'm due for rear shocks already as well. I don't tow much and when I do it's either my raptor or kawasaki. I wheel often but I'm never too hard on them.

Well if that's the case then I understand, I replaced my bushings twice. They wore out so quick.

I have no idea why! I can say I'm getting good at the whole leaf spring game though. Piece of cake!
