So simple question I started wondering about. Since the Comanche leafs is "axle over leaf". Would it lift my Cherokee a good bit if I put regular stock Comanche leafs on my Cherokee since its "leaf over axle". Should give a good 4" of lift right?

yeah... you would need to make some mounts... Comanche leafs are way longer than Cherokee leafs

couldn't he just cut the leaves to fit?

ericfx1984

ummm... no... how would you cut them... have you ever seen leaf packs?


but you could use them to make a small lift bastard pack

I can't remember where I saw it, and I may be wrong, but I read somewhere if you use stock Comanche leaves it'll give you a very large amount of lift simply because they're so much longer.

lol, you could just get the longest shackles you could find then manhandle the comanche leafs into place. I bet that would get you a could 6-8 inches of lift....

you can do it but a few things to remember

1) your axle will be pushed bck
2) you will either make a new front mount or use a shackle relocation bracket with a lift shackle
3) new drive shaft

You will also need to move the gas tank if you move the axle back... as well as do exhaust work. Did I mention cut your wheel wells

Dang. I was just hoping that It'll match right up into the Cherokee's mounting spots since it's basically just a truck version of a Cherokee. haha but Idk, guess not

The Comanche was spring under axle, Cherokee is spring over axle, so the leaves are longer on the comanche

Try it out, take some pics and then change it back if its all f'ed up lol

Be easier to use S-10 packs mixed into xj packs

Commanche leaves are longer... as well as the center pin is 2" further back. They are also 5" longer behind the center pin then a xj. They can be used with a bunch of mods... just not in thier currnet configuration

I was wondering if you use the xj main leaf and used everything but the mj main will it give your xj 4" or more lift?

So, with chopped quarters, relocation brackets and lift shackles, about how much lift do you gain from comanchee leafs?
