I have a 1995 xj and my driver's seat is about shot. I was wondering if all xj seats fit all years or is there a range on each of them? By the way this is my 1st offical post.
Try again.... 84-94 XJ's are a direct swap. In 95 the floor was redesigned, along with the seat mounts. 95-01 XJ's will accept 95-01 seats, plus 93-04 Grand Cherokee seats. For the GC's, you have to swap the XJ rails and mounts onto the ZJ/WJ seats. It's really easy.

The 90 seatframes (what i assume you mean by "hardware") will not bolt into a 95. In 95 they added a brace under the front mounts which changed the bolts from going through the floor to going horizontally through the brace. They also changed the bolt pattern on seat to frame...
You could make an adapter, but it's not a bolt in.
Here is a pre 95 seatframe modified to accept a 95+ seat frame bolting pattern.

0-2 dude.. maybe someone modded your frames.

Again, 95-01 seats are a direct swap. I think your mistaken when you claim the seats that were bolted to your 97 frames were originally pre95.
There were 95-96 seats that looked identical to the 84-94's.. but the bolt pattern to the frames differed.

I have an issue, my drivers seat was replaced by the Po and it sits too high in the front and leans too far in the back. Is this the wrong seat or is it broken?
