I know everyone says 4wd s-10 leafs work in the cherokee but what about 2wd? The back of mine as the typical sag and I know a guy who will sell me leafs from a 2wd s-10 for $30. Will this bring it back to the original height or not? Thanks

should be able to

might have to take out a few of your stock leafs and add one of the s10

Most definitely. Did it on my project truck for lift, gonna do it again on my DD to take the sag out.

S-10 2wd and 4wd springs are the same.

Perfect. So should I do it? And is it a big job to replace the springs?

Go For it. How much are you sagging?

The job is easy as you don't have to remove the stock main spring. hardest part is cutting the eyes off the s10 springs. You will be swapping leafs into and out of the rest of the pack to acheive to height you want.

So you don't actually use those leafs, you just use springs from the set and add them to yours? There is 4" between the top of the from tires to the fender flare and only 2" in the back. The leafs are like flat and slightly bent inside out. Know what I mean?

So you don't use the s-10 leafs, just springs out of them to add to the stockers? Do I need longer u bolts and the clips that are in the leaf packs?

And I have 4" between the front tires to the stock flares and only 2" in the rear. The rear springs are flat and slightly bent like inside out. Know what I mean?

Measure as per link: http://www.mike-g.net/jeep/yinyang/tech/rideheight/
Yeah when you do a bastard pack you keep your main leaf in place and mix and match the leafs from the donor and you XJ pack to acheive the desired amount of lift. Depending on the combination and number of leafs used will determine the amount of lift, from 1" to 4" total can be achieved.

Example , on my XJ I have Just the S-10 (98 Blazer) Main inserted under the XJ main and Got 1.5" of lift. My springs had very little sag to them, so your results may vary.
