leaf spring swap
My 95 has the typical cherokee leaf spring sag and i can tell that i dont have much longer before they break, this being my fourth cherokee.
I was wondering if anyone knew if any leaf spring from a dodge, ford, chevy, nissan etc.., would fit the cherokee's. I don't care if it would stay at stock hight, if it lifts it that would be a great bonus as i do plan to lift my cherokee, but i am looking for something that would be stronger than stock cherokee springs as i tow a lot with mine. I don't mind doing any type of fabrication so if that needs to be done i can do it.
Thanks for any input.

I used 1991 Dakota leafs i used the XJ main drilled out the center hole and used the top 3 Dakota leafs and netted 3.5 to 4 inches of lift and even with 350 400 pounds in the rear it wont sag
