MJs are spring UNDER. Just look at the page and read the description

Your not getting 10" of lift from a MJ spring.

Gotta have more than that.

On a stock MJ that spring will lift the rear end 4". Now relocating the spring above the axle, as found on XJs, will give it that much more lift.

These leaf springs are made specifically for the MJ Comanche. The MJ leaf springs go under the axle and are longer than the XJ Cherokee leaf springs that go over the axle. These are NOT made for an XJ and would probably give over 10" of lift if used on a Cherokee.

wonder if i can call them up and have some for xj custom built? ill try when jeep is ready and let you know..
