Hey folks, new here and new to jeeps all together, so go easy please. i just acquired a 94 cherokee through a trade that was someones trail vehicle and knowing it had some issues. I figured it'd be a good base for another project considering it has a new Rusty's 4.5" lift, C8.25 with a spartan locker, etc... Question is what year models should i look for that will be compatible for a straight swap of suspension parts. I'm no mechanic but no dummy either as i know my limitations so i was trying not have to fab stuff right off the bat. Sorry if this is in the wrong section or if its been covered before.
Thanks,
Chris

All xjs swap across on suspension parts,But the front axle 00-01 is low pinion while the 99 and older are high pinion.And make sure both front and rear axle have the same gear ratio in them.

Thanks man, just by happen stance i did a search and haven't completely finished researching; but what if i was to get a 2wd and throw all of my 94 stuff up under it? I found a 95 and another thats a 2000. I know that wasn't the original question but the 95 seems like it would be easier/more straight forward than as far as computers and such???

I could be done but its a huge job when you can find a 4x4 one easy and cheap.

I know it would be an involved project and Ive already got the 4wd through a trade so I'm not out any money yet. My question is should i stay away from the 00-01 models just for computer reasons?

The 00-01 have a cylinder head thats known for cracking.To do a 4x4 swap you gotta change out the trans for the 4x4 one with the t case and the t case shifter and linkage.The rear axle and add in the front axle and both driveshafts front and rear.
