Lifting the Cherokee

Description:
The rear leaf springs on my the Cherokee were shot and I ordered new ones. When I got the new ones they were the same crappy stock ones that wore out the first time.
A friend told me about the totaled red jeep at his work and said it had a relatively new 3 inch lift kit on it. Picked it up with a scrap title and started to work.
I am going to finish it up with a set of 31X10.50X15 B.F. Goodrich T/A tires. The red Jeep has been scavenged for all the parts I need and will be sent to the scrap yard shortly.

The donor Jeep on a temp "trailer" to get it out of the shop.  I pulled the starter, alternator, gas tank, and some other things out of it just in case.
